Application of the Node–Place Model in Algiers (Algeria)
Achieving sustainable and balanced urban growth often hinges on the integration of efficient transportation systems into urban planning. In Algeria, however, historical complexities and inadequate urban planning and transit policies have increased reliance on personal vehicles. This paper addresses the postcolonial challenges in Algeria’s urban planning and transport policies and their impact on Algiers, the capital city. By applying the Node–Place Model to transit-oriented development in Algiers, this study analyzes transit stations (nodes) and the surrounding development and activity zones (places). The analysis reveals significant disparities in accessibility, highlighting the monocentric urban structure with central stations exhibiting higher place indices. It identifies potential for harmonious development in balanced stations and underscores the need for targeted investments in stations with low public transport accessibility. This study concludes that implementing the Node–Place Model can facilitate informed decision-making, promoting sustainable urban planning and improved quality of life. By providing an integrated view of Algiers’ urban evolution, this approach offers practical solutions to current challenges, aiming to create more resilient and livable urban areas in Algeria’s capital. The findings emphasize the necessity of enhancing public transport connectivity and supporting diverse economic activities to achieve balanced and equitable urban development.
