  [ EN ] In their eagerness to make of the capital city, a paramount symbol of colnization, the French government decided to modernize Antananarivo soon after its conquest, according to Western conceptions of town-planning. In that perspective, decision makers, town developer and financiers found it natural to extend Antananarivo over the marshy or rice covered plains and valleys which lay west of the hills from where the town had formerly started to grow. In fact, since the last century, the latter had continued to spred down the hills invading a considerable part of Antananarivo’rice granary. Neglecting the outskirts of the town, the authorities tooks particular care of the smale valley of Analakely which was to become the new business centre and of the surrounding administrative and residential areas, thus arousing the interests of the big colonists who speculated on them. Neither the government, which is not keep on putting its stamp on popular and overpopulated districts, nor the most influencal business men, who cannot draw much profit from them, have been interested in the development of these plains which are liable to flooding and whose cleaning up implies tremendous expenses. As a result, Isotry, Antohomadinika or Anatihazo with their insalubrious buildings and precarious dwelling are regularly threatened by floods and ignored by the waste disposal service.

  [ MLA ] Tian’ny fitondrana frantsay ho sary velona itarafana ny fanjanahantany ny renivohitra, ka namboariny ny tananan’Antananarivo raha vao vita ny fampandriantany, ary nokasainy ovàna ho tanàna mandroso araka izay fiheveran’ny tandrefana azy. Koa ireo lemaka sy lohasaha rakotry ny honahona na tanimbary eo andrefan’ireo havoana niorenan’ny tanàna voalohany no noheverin’ireo manam-pahefana, mpanajary sy mptam-bola ho toerana voa-janahary tokony hanitarana an’Antananarivo. Dia nitohy nidina hatrany ny tanàna ary efa nanomboka tamin’ny taonjato lasa izany toe-javatra izany ka naka toerana tamin’ireo faritra maro sompitry ny renivohitra. Ny lohasah’Analakely, foibe vaovaon’ny varotra ary ireo faribohitra nisy ny biraom-panjakana sy toeram-ponenana mihaja mifanila aminy no tena nokarakarain’ny mpitondra fanjakana manokana ary nahasintona ireo voanjo manam-bola izay nividy tany teny hakany tombony. Ny faritra an-tsisintsisin’ny tanàna kosa dia tsy nisy mpijery. Afa-tsy ny vola be mety ho lany amin’ny fanaimanana ireo lemaka mora tundra-drano, dia tsy nisy niraika hanamboatra ireny, n any mpitondra n any mpandraharaha be vola tamin’izany ; ny mpitondra moa tsy dia te-hamela marika amin’ireny faribohitra be mponina onenan’ny sarababembahoaka ireny, ary ny mpandraharaha tsy manantena hahita tombontsoa firy amin’ny fikarakarana azy ireny. Ny faribohitr’Isotry, Antohomadinika, Anatihazo izay niorenan’ireo trano tsy ara-pahasalamana sy ireo fonenana tsizarizary teto an-drenivohitra dia tandidomin-doza lava amin’ny tondra-drano, sady tsy voakarakara eo amin’ny lafiny fanadiovana.
