ملخص: Until the 1980s government policy in Algeria had consistently failed to measure up to the demands for urban renewal. After that year, inner city problems began to attract greater attention than in the past, with the consequence of the government attempting to introduce remedial measures. Contradictoily enough, these measures oscillated between public large scale projects of inner city redevelopment, and a trend towards provision for the expansion of private sector rehabilitation through the promotion of home ownership adequately address the problems of housing decay in the inner city. These two possible solutions were put into effect in Britain in programmes for comprehensive redevelopment during the 1960s, and later for private sector-oriented rehabilitation. Into the 1980s, Birmingham provided an exemplary case, involving large scale public sector action into private rehabilitation, through enveloping. Therefore a case study has been made of this city. This study shows that comprehensive redevelopment had caused numerous social and physical problems. The advantage claimed for rehabilitation is that it is better able to secure the preservation of local communities and the improvement of existing housing. At the center of the Birmingham case study, there is an indication that private sector activities in rehabilitation are unable that private sector activities in rehabilitation are unable by themselves to accommodate the range of desired physical improvements and social stability. This study has found that rehabilitation in Birmingham has achieved relatively high physical and social expectations, because it has been centred round the effort of the public sector. This latter has proven to be more effective in developing a compehensive programme of urban renewal based on the existing conditions of inner areas, and the resources available from central government. From consideration of the lessons offered by the Birmingham experience to the present situation of Algeria, the study recommends rehabilitation as a permanent element of urban renewal policy. Further, the study endorses the fact that rehabilitation in Algeria should seek the effective involvement of the public sector for resource and programme management.
