L’année 2012 coïncide avec le 50ème anniversaire d’indépendance de l’Algérie. Ce rendez-vous important constitue pour le laboratoire VUDD l’occasion idéale pour programmer un colloque ayant pour objet d’établir un bilan des politiques urbaines successives, depuis l’indépendance a nos jours, et de s’interroger sur l’avenir de nos villes. Les villes algériennes, a l’instar des autres villes des pays de la Méditerranée, notamment celles de sa rive Sud et Est, connaissent des mutations rapides de leurs contextes politique, économique, démographique, sociétal et spatial. Ces mutations s’opèrent pour une grande part dans les villes où l’essentiel de la richesse économique est produit et où vit une population de plus en plus importante.

One of the most controversial topics, which has been the subject of debate by many scholars, is the nature of the Islamic city. Studies on the nature and morphology of the Islamic city began in the late 19th century with historians trying to find a model for this Islamic city in comparison to the "West" and from an "Orientalist" point of view, i.e. French Historians were more concerned with North African cities while the British were more focused on Egypt and Syrian cities. It is a topic that may not be viewed from one angle but rather from many including urban, geographical, socio-historical, legal and architectural frameworks and this is mainly why the debate remains unresolved.

The Renaissance era is often said to be a significant turning point in European history, as a period of cultural and economic reformations that were shaping the identity of the “West.” This new identity was based on a revolutionary shift in knowledge about the world in this period. Cultural discovery of the non-Western lands, triggered after the 16th century by European travelers, opened new doors for cultural and economic exchanges.
