Plateau 2 is located in the Plateau district in the center of Niamey. The neighboring districts are Yantala Haut in the north, Issa Béri in the east, Château 1 in the south and Yantala Bas in the west. The district is located in a plateau with a sand layer more than 2.5 meters deep, which allows better infiltration than in other parts of the city.

The standard scheme for street names in Plateau 2 is rue YN 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by the abbreviation YN for Yantala Nouveau (Yantala Haut) and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue YN 1 scheme is used not only in Yantala Haut, but also in Plateau 2.

history

The district was created between 1971 and 1976. In the mid-1980s, the poor settlement Tchana-Carré was founded in the southeast of Plateau 2 .

population

At the 2012 census, the neighborhood had 12,056 people living in 2,419 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 7488 in 1202 households.
