Abstract: The urban center of Fada N'Gourma in the eastern region of Burkina Faso at the crossroads of several West African countries, covers an area of 350 km², with a population of around 66,173 inhabitants in 2019 (INSD-Est, 1996-2006. P. 222 ; Projection DAHANI. I, 2020). The central market of this city was created between 1395 to 1439. The activities of this market play a role in urban development, through its social, economic, political and urban function. It catalyzes urban life and increases the dynamics in this space. The central market contributes to the urban development of Fada N'Gourma at the social, economic, infrastructural and spatial levels. The present investigation is essentially built on a field research by collecting primary data. It aims to present the contribution of the central market to the urban development of Fada N'Gourma. Thus, the analysis of this urban contribution shows that this market is an important lever in the economic and social development of the said city.
