In France, since the Bulletin officiel de l'éducation nationale n°11 of 26 November 2015, the first theme addressed in the French secondary school geography programme for a pupil (class of sixième) is "Living in a metropolis", divided into two parts: the first deals with "Metropolises and their inhabitants", the second explores "The city of tomorrow". The question of the sequence is: "How to live and cohabit sustainably in a metropolis? ". (MENESR, 2016, p. 1). The multiple problems linked to metropolisation are listed: environmental, social, political, etc. Faced with these problems, "Can we imagine cities that, tomorrow, will correct the socio-environmental imbalances observed between neighbourhoods and/or metropolises?" (MENESR, 2016, p. 3).
Although a great deal of research has been carried out on the challenges and limits of teaching the city of tomorrow in France, there has not yet been any reflection on such information in a so-called southern villa. This paper aims to fill this gap. It is an exploratory research on this unpublished aspect, in the framework of a thesis direction of a doctoral student of the ENS Bangui.
After the inter-community violence that traumatised it in 2012 and 2013, the capital of the Central African Republic wants to look to the future again by building a shared and common city project for all the inhabitants of Bangui. To do this, three major challenges need to be addressed as a priority.
