description Yaoundé is one of the main cities of Cameroon. In the 1990s, the economic crisis hit the country and Structural Adjustment Programs led to the State disengagement from urban planning. Since then, uncontrolled urbanization and an atypical urban landscape have developed. Since 2010, the State through the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing and the Urban Community of Yaoundé, has undertaken a process of urban restructuring in Yaoundé following the Urban Development Master Plans of 1982 and the Master Plan This restructuring induces a recomposition of the urban landscape whose perceptions, individual and collective, betray different sensitivities. This study analyzes the sensory dimensions of the landscape resulting from urban restructuring in Yaoundé. The geographical and sociological approach integrates : documentary exploitation, field surveys, shooting and mapping of the urban landscape. It turns out that the ongoing urban restructuring in Yaoundé is changing the urban environment. The resulting landscape is apprehended from individual, collective and social logics, according to the preferred meaning of the actors.
