The map
Maradi lies in south-central Niger, close to the border with Nigeria, in the valley of the Goulbi de Maradi, a seasonal river. Its map shows a low, widely spread city of courtyard houses and walled compounds, arranged along broad sandy streets, with the river valley and farmland forming a softer edge on one side.
The city is one of Niger's main commercial centres, long tied to trade with northern Nigeria, and it serves a farming region known for groundnuts, millet and livestock. The majority of its people are Hausa, and the traditional chieftaincy remains an important institution in the social life of the city.
A Maradi map poster presents a quiet, horizontal city laid out on open ground, with the market district at its heart and roads leading toward Zinder, Niamey and the frontier. It is a portrait of the Sahel at its most ordinary and real, rather than a picture of dunes or desert.
The seasonal river and its valley run beside the city, shown as a band of fields, channels and open land that changes the rhythm of the streets.
Streets converge on the central market, where blocks become smaller and denser, marking the busiest point of a city built on commerce.
Residential areas spread in loose grids of sandy streets and walled courtyards, a calm, repeating pattern that fills much of the frame.
