Full Description

This PAEEV sets out a territorial and urban planning framework for Jérémie, the main city of Grand’Anse. Its diagnostic sections cover the regional environment, population, urbanization and major natural hazards, then the department and commune, including population, territory and economy. The city profile covers history, recent growth, built density and population density, morphology, informal neighborhoods, transport and roads, potable water, drainage, urban economy, the Côtes-de-Fer market, institutions, natural and anthropogenic risks, flooding, marine submersion, coastal erosion and major urban constraints.

The project section defines planning, beautification and extension orientations for Jérémie. It covers administrative limits, land-use zoning, protection of natural and special agricultural areas, the old centre, structured extension zones, informal neighborhoods, development areas, road-network structuring, facilities and networks, municipal finance and management, an economic project, implementation strategy, further work, a 15-year program, spatialization of interventions and a regulatory component. The document explicitly links urban planning to disaster-risk prevention, land access and municipal management, making it a planning reference for local government and territorial policy rather than a narrow infrastructure project.
