The issue of unregulated occupations of road setbacks or plot fronts remains a complex concern in the city of Lubumbashi. These non-regulatory occupations of the public square for personal purposes give rise to a conflict of use between the individual and the community (, Bajima et al.). This study proposes to partially respond to the recommendations for revisiting the issue by continuing the observation of these areas, the literature review and proposals for possible solutions. A SWOT analysis necessary for the approach allowed us to seek to understand the acts of encroachment noted not as problems posed but as opportunities for revisits according to the aspects of public or private action, spatio-functional, economic, social for the well-being of populations, ecological and environmental.
