\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tConstruction and Public Works (C&P) companies are experiencing remarkable dynamism due to Togo's high rate of urbanization. We are witnessing the development of the real estate sector and the upgrading of infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t At the national level, according to the results of the fourth general population and housing census of November 2010, 37.7% of Togolese lived in cities compared to 25.2% in 1981. Projections indicate, in light of the current rate of urban growth, that 50% of the population will reside in urban areas in 2028. This rate will increase to 58% in 2050 according to the United Nations report on the state of urbanization (UNDESA, 2014). This will result in a threefold increase in the urban population between 2014 and 2050; increasing from 2.7 to 8.4 million inhabitants, with ever-increasing pressure on available infrastructure. Positioning itself as a logistics hub, Lom\u00e9 must consolidate its status as a business center in the sub-region; the government is investing massively in road and airport infrastructure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t To this end, two bypasses and three international highways have been built or completely renovated, as well as two dry ports. The internal road network of the Autonomous Port of Lom\u00e9 (PAL) has been renovated and its capacity increased to 7,000 TEU [twenty-foot equivalent unit] containers. Other recent developments include the digitalization of PAL's activities, the relocation of the fishing port, and the creation of a multi-service logistics platform that accelerates the processing of goods and increases traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n Concerning the activity zones, we can mention the development of the fishing port market, the creation of the Ad\u00e9tikop\u00e9 Industrial Platform (PIA), the juxtaposed checkpoint of No\u00e9p\u00e9 on the border between Togo and Ghana and the rural development project of the Djagbl\u00e9 plain on the outskirts of Lom\u00e9.<\/p>\n The government is taking action to streamline the land title creation process. The framework of the land tenure system\u2014updated by the law of June 14, 2018\u2014allows the state to focus on reforming agricultural land policy, for which a draft bill is currently being developed. It is currently reviewing maps, implementing a land information system, and creating planned agricultural development zones (Zaap).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
The major challenges facing Togo include increasing environmental problems with climate change, societal problems with increasing demands on human settlements, and problems likely to worsen as urban growth accelerates. The government's mission is to work toward sustainable urban development to improve residents' quality of life. It promotes viable cities and, in particular, access to decent housing, especially for low- and middle-income segments of the population. Priorities also include the development, construction, and rehabilitation of sanitation facilities, as well as land security.<\/p>\n
