Abstract : The coastline is a major economic driver for coastal countries, but these areas continue to face increasing hazards, particularly more severe flooding. It is becoming imperative to preserve these areas by developing new, adapted housing strategies. This research, based on the case of Douala 6 in Cameroon, proposes a resilient way of living that reduces the risks associated with flooding. The study incorporates local practices, cultural values, and community approaches to improve the living conditions of residents while promoting harmonious coexistence with their immediate environment. Beyond the Cameroonian context, this approach offers an innovative and replicable model of climate adaptation for other vulnerable coastal areas.

Keywords : Coastal Resilience, Flooding, Housing, Douala 6, Climate Adaptation.
