Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professors Fran\u00e7ois Vigier and Mona Serageldin led the Spring 1994 Design Studio, an annual seminar hosted by the Unit for Housing and Urbanization at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. The topic that year focused on urban development in Abidjan, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire<\/strong> (Ivory Coast).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document, \u201cDesigning for Urban Growth: Abidjan, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire\u201d<\/strong> (January 1994), discussed the housing compound profiles, land allocation, household demographics, and design conditions of Abidjan’s housing regions. The report details designs for dealing with environmental impacts such as organic and industrial effluents, solutions for reducing public subsidies for housing, reforms the housing production, and, in particular, suggestions for readdressing the respective responsibilities of the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
