Abstract
This paper delves into the critical issue of urban growth and its profound impact on the urban landscape of Khenchela city, Algeria, examining its multifaceted consequences. The study employs an integrated methodology, combining inductive and deductive approaches within the descriptive framework, with a specific focus on the case study method. By adopting a multidisciplinary perspective that encompasses fields such as geography and urban planning, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the complex urban phenomenon. To achieve a comprehensive analysis, the study utilizes a purposive sample consisting of three individuals and employs various research tools, including observation, interviews, records, and documents, to meticulously investigate the city's urban reality Through this meticulous methodology, the study uncovers several significant findings. It highlights the period from 1966 to 2022, characterized by high rates of natural population increase and internal migration, which have resulted in housing occupancy rates exceeding normal values. This unprecedented growth in urban real estate consumption has led to the emergence of a severe housing crisis within the city. Consequently, Khenchela city's urban growth has taken the form of outward expansion since 2008, with a focus on neighboring cities such as N’sighato the south and El Hamma to the northeast.
