| description | The shantytowns or slum area started to appear in the urban fabric within
town zones in Algeria during the colonial period. This situation endured after the
independence, in particular during the seventies of the last century. The reasons : a
population growth and an increasing urbanization in big and intermediate cities, in
addition to the industrial establishment resulting from the development choices. This
latter wasn’t supported by balanced development. The impact was obvious on the
urban development of the Algerian cities. Hence, the slum areas increased outside the
town urban perimeter, where the public lands and the lands inconvenient for
urbanization such as river shores, old quarries and hills. The citizen, in cause of that,
stood in a permanent conflict with the relevant authorities, in particular municipalities,
to settle the situation or to remove definitively the house. Hence, this situation leads
to a degradation in the urban fabric and planning of numerous cities. The Governorate
of Biskra was also affected by this phenomenon starting from the 1970s. It results,
among other reasons, from its elevation to the status of Governorate in 1974 following
the second administrative structuring in Algeria after the independence. |
