Abstract

Domestic wastewater treatment is a central issue in the environmental and health problems of African cities, regardless of their size. The lack of wastewater sanitation in African cities can only hinder their sustainable development. This chapter aims to clearly pose the problem of domestic wastewater treatment in African cities, which are at the crossroads of economic, social and environmental issues for the African States. It aims to show the urgency of intervening in favor of liquid sanitation in African cities, in a context where anarchic urbanization governs urban development. In the same way, and still in the logic of the practicability and impact of sustainable development in African cities, it is necessary to ask how liquid sanitation problems can lead to changing current urban planning practices. More than ever, it is urgent for African cities to adopt sustainable development and treat their domestic wastewater properly.
