From this development, a network of railways could be deployed: to Aného in 1905, to Kpalimé in 1907 and to <a href="/wiki/Atakpam%C3%A9" title="Atakpamé">Atakpamé</a> in 1909. All the "useful Togo" was now organized in a funnel around Lomé, whose preponderance on the Togolese urban network was definitively established and growth assured. The city reached a population of 8,000 in 1914. But, if the infrastructure set up by the Germans, which were a post office in 1890, the <a href="/wiki/Telephone" title="Telephone">telephone</a> in 1894, the cathedral in 1904, a bank in 1906 and the intercontinental telegraph in 1913 could benefit everyone, a system of discriminatory patents and licenses gradually ousted African traders from the most lucrative activities, that is to say, the trade or the import-export activities. </p><p>Apart from the rich <a href="/wiki/Octaviano_Olympio" title="Octaviano Olympio">Octaviano Olympio</a>, with his large <a href="/w/index.php?title=Cocoterais&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Cocoterais (page does not exist)">Cocoterais</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoterais" class="extiw" title="fr:Cocoterais">fr</a>]</span>, the first in the city, his herds, his <a href="/wiki/Brickyard" title="Brickyard">brickyard</a> and his construction company, most <a href="/wiki/Togolese" class="mw-redirect" title="Togolese">Togolese</a> merchants had to put themselves at the service of foreign firms as managers of their agencies in other cities, or enjoying more autonomy as buyers of agricultural export products in the interior. The smallest had been hired in large numbers as clerks in the main factories (headquarters of the offices of a trading company abroad). Firms in other African territories looked with envy at Togo, which had an abundant skilled workforce, while elsewhere, it was necessary to entrust all positions to expatriates, much more expensive for the employer. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">First World War</a> completely spared the city, but in 1916, it led to the eviction of German companies, gradually replaced by British and French firms. Many Togolese traders returned to Lomé. Their flourishing businesses, their vast coconut groves, their land patrimony made them a bourgeoisie with which the new French colonial authorities had to reckon, this was the meaning of the council of notables created in 1922 (elective from 1925), which gave Lomé a remarkably early political life in French-speaking Africa. It is also quite exceptional that an African capital has been so marked by its indigenous <a href="/wiki/Bourgeoisie" title="Bourgeoisie">bourgeoisie</a> (originally from the France), both in the production practices of urban space, so original in Lomé, and in the singularities of its popular architecture. </p><p>The French renewed the infrastructure left by the Germans; the repair of railways, multiplication of roads, construction of a new quay, etc. They added electrification in 1926 and drinking water supply in 1940), which their predecessors had not been able to achieve. However, they took years to fill the void left in the schools by the <a href="/wiki/Society_of_the_Divine_Word" title="Society of the Divine Word">German verbist missionaries</a> when they left. The level of students enrolled in 1945, at the death of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Jean-Marie_Cassou&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Jean-Marie Cassou (page does not exist)">Jean-Marie Cassou</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Cassou" class="extiw" title="fr:Jean-Marie Cassou">fr</a>]</span>, reached that of 1914. </p><p>In the 1920s, a policy of systematic low taxation allowed for a long prosperity.

It had only a population of 30,000 in 1950, which increased to 80,000 in 1960, the year when Togo became independent. A decade later, it stood at 200,000 people, in 1970. Within two decades, the population of Lomé increased by seven-fold. The city, as throughout the country, the very high prices of export products operate the markets, the significant investments of the colonial administration (the "FIDES" plan created a large number of roads, bridges, schools, hospitals) ensured full employment. The constructions were rapidly expanding at the expense of the old coconut groves, the hope animated each of an imminent take-off. </p><p>From the mid-1970s, investments became more and more gigantic, but not always in well-targeted areas, Togo, a small open country and hub of trade between its powerful neighbors, did not have the protected market that would have been needed for the large industries that were built for it, nor the stable tourism potential for the luxurious hotels that were coming up.<sup id="cite_ref-Roman_Adrian_Cybriwsky_2013,_p._162_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Roman_Adrian_Cybriwsky_2013,_p._162-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the same time, the railways were allowed to deteriorate, even though they had an important role, especially for serving the outlying districts of the city. </p><p>But, the economic activity of an African city is not just an accumulation of large companies, banks and factories. There is also the very vast field of the popular economy, these innumerable activities of production, exchange, service, repair, which are in fact the livelihood of the majority of the population, and the only way for it to access services commensurate with its modest resources. Difficult to grasp in the statistical tools of economists, the <a href="/wiki/Informal_economy" title="Informal economy">informal sector</a> is increasingly affecting the real economic life of African city dwellers. In addition, the development of market gardening around the city, stimulated by growing unemployment, arose rural exodus and demand for vegetables. Market gardening, first extended to the north, is mainly on the beach (as the sand is too less salty), planting protective hedges. The various studies of the city's land market indicate that the neighborhoods are relatively heterogeneous, mixing opulent villas and modest housing, without social and spatial division of the city. This is explained by the fact that Lomeans are very attached to their plot of land and what they call their "home" (their home). This, therefore, led to a land freeze. However, if the city is not a socially divided city, the fact remains that Lomé is experiencing more and more problems related to the collection of household waste, the fight against urban insalubrity has become one of the priorities of the city and its inhabitants. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Climate">Climate</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lom%C3%A9&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Climate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Owing to its location in the <a href="/wiki/Dahomey_Gap" title="Dahomey Gap">Dahomey Gap</a>, Lomé has a <a href="/wiki/Tropical_savanna_climate" title="Tropical savanna climate">tropical savanna climate</a> (<a href="/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification" title="Köppen climate classification">Köppen climate classification</a> <i>Aw</i>/<i>As</i>) despite its latitude close to the equator.
