YAOUNDE : The world's most UPSET capital City | City Talk Series – Episode 1

Unlike Abidjan, Accra, or Cotonou, Yaoundé is landlocked, isolated, and surrounded by hills. But geography isn’t its only challenge. From unchecked urban sprawl and deadly landslides to water shortages, power outages, and mobility chaos, the city is collapsing under its own growth.

In this in-depth video, we explore:
The colonial design flaws that still shape the city today
How a once-promising city turned into what some call “Garbage City”
The impact of corruption, poor governance, and urban neglect
Why living in Yaoundé today is a matter of daily survival
Whether you're from Cameroon or just curious about urban development failures across Africa, this documentary breaks down the political, economic, and historical roots of Yaoundé's decline, and asks: Can this city be saved?
