Description
Summary:The article attempts to evaluate the impact on the landscape of the last phase in the verticalization of the city of Oran through the experience of its inhabitants. This rapid opportunistic phase in the process raises the question of project development in the planning of the city. The research was based on the qualitative analysis of commented visits of three central districts of Oran with different architectures and populations. The survey did not focus on the people living in the towers but on the other inhabitants of these districts or people who occasionally visited them. The results obtained showed that the impact of the towers on the landscape related to feelings, aesthetics and experience. The ongoing verticalization has apparently revealed divergences in perceptions and ways of life associated with a social transformation of the population. We show how the alteration of certain landscape references due to the irruption of the towers reveals resulting conflicts between the actors. The ways these types of constructions have been integrated within the central districts of the city of Oran raise the question of accessibility to the landscape and do not seem conducive to the production of a shared landscape.
