New cities and housing social policy The new city of « Ali Mendjeli » in Constantine is a model

Abstract

 Drawing up a housing policy is at the core of any social policy. This issue goes beyond the limits of the number of housing units, rooms, the rates of density and crowding, or the balance of supply and demand. The primary objective of housing programs and policies is providing an adequate housing for each person, commensurate with individual needs, and linking these programs simultaneously with job opportunities, educational, social and recreational facilities. Since the social requirements for adequate housing are more achievable in new cities, away from the obstacles of backward neighborhoods or worn-out natural environments, in addition to the low value of land compared to its prices in the existing cities, we will discuss these cities as a mechanism for the policies adopted to solve the housing crisis, by answering the following question: to what extent is the policy of new cities related to the social policy of housing?
