Abstract: The urban sector is a critical sector for the coming decades with the growth of the urban population. It is therefore important to guarantee investments, with optimal monitoring of projects. In Cameroon, this activity is the responsibility of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, which has specially set up a web application to monitor these projects. However, this platform remains limited because it does not exploit the spatial component of the projects. In this article we propose a cartographic web platform for the spatialized monitoring of projects in this sector for Cameroon. The implementation of this platform followed the steps of a software development process. The result is a cartographic web application that offers an interactive thematic map for monitoring projects in the urban sector. The base maps available, in particular the OSM map and the Google satellite image, as well as the interactivity offered through cartographic navigation and querying the project layer, provide better visibility on the real progress of projects on the site.
