  abstract = {{T}his paper offers new evidence on the residential arrangements of couples in the context of migration and urbanisation in {A}frica, focusing on the case of {O}uagadougou, {B}urkina {F}aso's capital city. {W}e use a mixed-methods approach, combining data from a survey on the family histories of migrants merged with data from the {O}uagadougou {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystem and qualitative interviews. {T}he objective is to analyse how the migrants themselves perceive "living apart together", the extent of this phenomenon, its timing, and the factors influencing it. {T}he longitudinal nature of our data specifically allows for the study of the drivers of couple reunification in {O}uagadougou and of the physical separation of partners, whereby one goes to live away from {O}uagadougou. {O}ur results reveal that 25% of migrants in a union had a partner living outside {O}uagadougou in 2015, and that the residential arrangements of such couples were associated with gender relations, family cycle, and integration into the city.},
