The Algerian City Between Originality And Modernity: (Example: Boussada)

Abstract

Algerian cities are facing great challenges to meet the needs of the growing population in the areas of Housing and various services, where the government has adopted the idea of creating new cities. This plan is based on the implementation of large-scale projects with plans imported from other communities, which raises questions about the suitability of these plans for Algerian society and its cultural and social peculiarities...

The city of BOUSSADA is an important example where historical and cultural authenticity converges with attempts at modernization.

This study aims to reveal the reality of social life in new urban agglomerations, especially in desert areas whose population is characterized by the preservation of Customs and traditions. And to understand the impact of these new communities on the traditional and community lifestyle in these areas, and to make recommendations to improve urbanization policies commensurate with local particularities, while preserving the cultural and social identity of the population

It is necessary to achieve a balance between originality and modernity, to ensure an urban expansion that reflects the cultural and historical aspects of Algerian society and at the same time meets the requirements of modern life.
