Abstract
Urban planning is the discipline concerned with organizing and managing land
use to ensure sustainable, functional, and liveable urban environments.
This research focuses on the land occupancy plan 3 QSabi-Chlif neighbourhood
in the city of Tindouf, Algeria.
The choice of Tindouf stems from the absence of prior urban planning studies in
the area, despite rapid urban expansion.
QSabi was selected due to its evident environmental degradation and
disorganized urban growth.
The main problem identified is the lack of structured urban planning, resulting
in poor road conditions, limited green spaces, environmental pollution, and
unregulated parking and flood risk.
The existence of these issues was confirmed through field surveys, photographic
documentation, analysis of satellite images, and official municipal data.
The proposed interventions include :
- Creating green spaces
- Converting the main commercial road into a pedestrian-only zone
- relocating solid waste depot to reduce pollution
- rehabilitating the road network
- Reducing environmental risks, including flood exposure
The proposals are grounded in Algerian urban planning regulations and UNHabitat urban development principles.
This study provides the first structured urban intervention proposal for this
neighbourhood and highlights a replicable approach for similar underserved
urban areas
