Economy and Sig

By Gael Alexandre Nianga

Economics and GIS is a book that demonstrates, with rigour and clarity, that economic problems have a geography - and that this geography can be transformed. Through the living reality of Brazzaville, its nine districts, its bustling markets, its congested thoroughfares and its isolated neighbourhoods, the author explores how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can become the most powerful tool for the economic development of an African city. From the Grand March de Poto-Poto to the Beach on the banks of the Congo, from the Mpila industrial zone to the rutted tracks of Djiri, this book maps the flows, divisions and potential of the Congolese capital with unprecedented precision. It analyses the causes-unplanned urban growth, inadequate road networks, unregulated land use, soil erosion-and proposes concrete solutions. This book is for you if: you are a decision-maker, urban planner or manager seeking to base your actions on real data - or if you are a student of geography, economics or geomatics and want to understand how these disciplines interrelate in practice.
