Urbanisation de la vallée du M’zab et mitage de la palmeraie de Ghardaïa (Algérie) : un patrimoine oasien menacé

Urban expansion in the M'Zab Valley, Algeria, is significantly threatening its UNESCO-listed oasis heritage, characterized by unique architecture and urban organization. The study identifies key actors and factors driving these urban encroachments, which not only compromise the valley's cultural and architectural integrity but also degrade its environment. By analyzing historical and contemporary urban development patterns, the research highlights the delicate balance between preserving this intangible heritage and addressing modern urbanization demands.
