  Abstract:   This study is to assess the relationship between citizenship and vulnerability through the examination of the case of engine disabled citizen and real estate public space urbanism policies in the city of Yaoundé in Cameroon. The study of the legal and regulatory framework as well as the analysis of practices indicates sufficiently the paradox that remains: on the formal level, the accessibility and mobility of the disabled citizen are guaranteed by law that regulates the exercise of civil rights and the equality of all citizens. Meanwhile at the hardware level, significant barriers limit the right to come and go, and therefore that of participation in the public life of this category of vulnerable citizens. The imbalance between egalitarian and humanitarian aspirations of society and the multifaceted reality of the marginalization or even the exclusion on the field. Legitimate then the finding of the fragmentation of citizenship at the expense of the lower.

Key words: vulnerability, citizenship, disability, accessibility, urban development, fragmentation, discrimination.
