Overview
In this first lecture, we present how the course is organized and answer a simple question: why do we need spatial planning? We compare urban planning and spatial planning, and we look at the uneven distribution of population in Algeria.
Learning objectives
By the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
- Describe how the course is organized: chapters, schedule and assessment.
- State the course objectives and the expected learning outcomes.
- Distinguish urban planning from spatial planning in scope, time horizon, themes and instruments.
- Explain why Algeria's territory needs spatial planning.
Key terms
Spatial planning · Urban planning · Territory · Planning levels · SNAT · PDAU · POS
Question for reflection
If you were in charge of Algeria's spatial planning, which three measures would you propose first to relieve pressure on the coastal strip? Why?
-
Course organization (chapters, schedule, assessment), objectives and learning outcomes; urban planning vs spatial planning (scope, time horizon, themes, instruments); planning levels from the SNAT to the POS; Algerian example: uneven distribution of population (SNAT 2030, 2008 census).

Overview
In this lecture, we define the core concepts of the course: planning, space, territory and region. We then define aménagement and territorial planning, present its three dimensions, and compare regulatory planning with strategic spatial planning.
Learning objectives
By the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
- Define planning and identify its determinants and the qualities of a robust plan.
- Define space, territory and region, and distinguish between them.
- Define aménagement and territorial planning, and explain the three dimensions of territorial planning.
- Compare regulatory planning and strategic spatial planning.
Key terms
Planning · Space · Territory · Region · Aménagement · Territorial planning · Strategic spatial planning
Question for reflection
Is the wilaya of Jijel a space, a territory or a region? Show from which angle it is a space and a territory, then discuss: is it a region, or part of one? Use the criteria seen in this lecture.
-
Planning: definition, determinants and qualities of a robust plan; space, territory and region compared; a note on terminology; Algerian example: the national territory (69 wilayas, 1,541 communes); aménagement and territorial planning and its three dimensions; regulatory and strategic planning.

Overview
In this lecture, we ask why territorial planning emerged. We trace its founding milestones in the world and in Algeria, review the theories that explained spatial inequalities, and examine how social and spatial inequalities interact. We end with the idea of spatial justice and how planning can promote it.
Learning objectives
By the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
- Explain why territorial planning emerged: the growing awareness of spatial inequalities.
- Identify the main milestones of territorial planning in the world and in Algeria.
- Distinguish spatial inequalities from social inequalities and explain how they interact.
- Define spatial justice and describe how planning can promote it.
Key terms
Spatial inequalities · Social inequalities · Spatial justice · Territorial equity · Growth pole · Cumulative causation · Core and periphery · Socio-spatial segregation
Question for reflection
Choose two communes of the wilaya of Jijel that clearly differ in relief, level of urbanization and accessibility (define these first). Which indicators would you use to compare their access to services, and what would spatial justice require?
-
Why territorial planning emerged; founding milestones in the world (TVA, Barlow Report, DATAR, European charter, SDG 11); theories of spatial inequalities (Perroux, Myrdal, Friedmann); the colonial legacy and milestones of territorial planning in Algeria; social and spatial inequalities and how to measure them; spatial justice and how planning can advance it.

Overview
In this lecture, we present the general principles of territorial planning and the aims and missions that Law 01-20 sets for the national policy. We then see how planning balances economic, social and environmental objectives, and how it deals with the conflicts between them.
Learning objectives
By the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
- Explain the general principles of territorial planning.
- Identify the objectives of territorial planning set by Algerian law (Law 01-20).
- Explain how territorial planning balances economic, social and environmental objectives.
- Recognize the conflicts between these objectives and the ways to manage them.
Key terms
General principles · Balance · Equity · Sustainability · Coherence · Participation · Anticipation · Sensitive zone · Trade-off
Question for reflection
Choose one aim of Law 01-20 (Art. 4). Which other aim could conflict with it in the wilaya of Jijel, and how would you reconcile them?
-
Six general principles of territorial planning (balance, equity, sustainability, coherence, participation, anticipation); who conducts the national policy (Law 01-20, Art. 2); its aims (Art. 4) and the missions of the State (Art. 6); the planner’s triangle and how to balance economic, social and environmental objectives; examples of conflicts between objectives.
