Tivaouane Diacksao is one of the 16 districts (Communes d'arrondissement du Sénégal) of Pikine , the largest city in Senegal even before the capital Dakar . As of 2013, the city district was part of the Restructuration de Pikine Irrégulier Sud (PIS) , a 700 hectare district redevelopment that affects 220,000 residents as part of the motorway project L'autoroute à péage Dakar – Diamniadio for the construction of Autoroute 1 . The renovation work in the busy district of Poste Thiaroye was largely completed by the end of 2017. This was preceded by extensive evictions of occupied land, some of which had been used and built on for decades without legal title.
