Editing Thiès region (section)

==Geography==
Thiès has two coastlines, one in the north with the [[Grande Côte]] housing the [[Niayes]] vegetable market, one to the south with the [[Petite Côte]], one of the tourist areas of Senegal.
 
Principally the main passageway between the peninsula and the rest of the country, the region of Thiès has received a communication route connected to the first rail line and new road infrastructure.
 
Thiès is relatively small, yet it is the most populous region after [[Dakar]], with a population of 2,467,523 inhabitants in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thiès (Region, Senegal) - Population Statistics, Charts, Map and Location |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/senegal/admin/SN13__thi%C3%A8s/ |access-date=2024-01-16 |website=www.citypopulation.de}}</ref>

The coastal communities are dependent on fishing, growing crops, and coastal tourism for subsistence. The interior of the region was the [[peanut]] basin. [[Phosphate]]s are also mined there.
