Ce dossier a comme ambition d’impulser et de rendre visible les recherches sur les villes algériennes en privilégiant les contributions qui explorent de nouveaux champs et apportent des savoirs actualisés sur la question urbaine. Cela passe par certains déplacements de l’analyse et un renouvellement des problématiques.
