A Dynamic Urban Landscape In Algeria: Actors, Mechanisms And Governance Challenges

Authors : Aggoune Karim .

Abstract

The text highlights the major transformations undergone by Algerian cities and rural areas, marked by rapid urbanization and complex socio-economic challenges. Demographic growth and migration movements have led to uncontrolled urban expansion, deterioration of the urban environment, and an increase in irregular constructions. Cities struggle to meet the needs for housing, infrastructure, and services, while rural areas experience a relative decline after decades of migration to urban areas. The challenges of governance, urban planning, citizen participation, and effective human resource management are crucial to addressing current challenges and ensuring sustainable urban development in Algeria.
