This study focuses on urban dynamics and basic services. It focuses on Agboville, a historic city created ex-nihilo by settlers. The main objective of this study is to highlight the correlation between urban growth and the development of basic services at different periods.The methodological approach consisted in exploiting the Master Urban Development Plans (PUD, 1970; 1994 and 2018) and the reports of the various INS censuses (RGPH, 1988-98 and 2014). It was completed by the exploitation and selection of aerial photographs from the IVC (1970) and KOKUSAI (1994) missions at CCT/BNETD for cartographic purposes. It also involved interviews with local authorities and direct observation of available basic services.The results show that there is a significant de-correlation in the current development of Agboville between urban sprawl and its networks. The city is expanding without following the facilities. The result is an imbalance related to the phase shift in the spatial dynamics and the growth of the facilities. The urban dynamics led by a population in constant evolution takes precedence over the development of public services. This situation leads to a deterioration in access to basic urban services because population growth makes the available basic services de facto insufficient.
