| Summary: | As part of a sustainable urban development strategy, Algeria has adopted the
model of new cities to relieve pressure on its metropolises and large
cities. The new city of Sidi Abdallah is one of these new cities, located 30
kilometres from Algiers. This paper aims to determine the extent to which
new cities contribute to development by diagnosing and comparing the
development status of the new city of Sidi Abdallah and the state of
Algeria using CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for the Built
Environment Efficiency) tools. This is based on evaluating new cities by
measuring their performance, level of sustainability, and impact on the
development of the mother city or region. The study concluded that the
development of the new city of Sidi Abdallah according to urban
sustainability criteria is a prerequisite for contributing to the
establishment and management of sustainable urban development, both within
the city itself and in the surrounding areas. It was also found that the
CASBEE tool has the potential to achieve sustainable development,
especially if it is improved by adding more indicators focusing on the
economic and social dimensions of sustainability in the local context of the
city. |
