摘要

This article presents the role of expropriation regulations and concession cases in remodeling the plot of precolonial Algiers. It also examines its consequences on domestic architecture. Urban development undertaken during the nineteenth century in the Casbah of Algiers resulted in the first settlement of the colonial city. The transformation of the old street network and the opening of streets through existing constructions were essentially based on declarations of public utility for expropriation. As a result of this regulation, there was an increase in requests for the concession of public land, allowing owners to rebuild according to the new alignments.
