Abstract EN

The North East region of Algeria is a privileged region with a strategic location that gives it an international vocation, a distribution of cities based on natural resources, however, lately a change occur in the urban growth away from ancient big cities declaring urban and regional networks.

a complex regional network that we need to identify its elements separately according to previous studies with the purpose of planning future development, we conducted a thematic analysis of urban networks using a deductive and semantic approach, firstly we created the urban network of each wilaya based on the size of its demographic agglomeration.

secondly, we identify their models of growth, the possible causes of growth, and the interpretation of growth based on the urban network form and the social and economic data presented in the regional planning document the SRAT.

finally, we present a spatial identification of the eight urban networks where we present the models of growth corresponding to the network urban form and we cite the possible causes of that form based on previous studies and available data.
