Prospects for the Sustainable Development of Modern Architecture in the Coastal Cities of Algeria

Abstract

AbstractSustainable development is one of the main topics of world research, including in the aspect of further transformation of modern architecture. From this point of view, the study of the rich architectural heritage of Algeria - one of the countries that for millennia has developed and accumulated experience of “passive” resistance to the hot and dry climate of the region with architectural and urban planning means and techniques - is relevant in terms of global trends in climate change. The article discusses and analyses the traditional methods of urban planning and architecture, as well as provides recommendations for their further development. Particular attention is paid to the organization of residential development in the coastal cities of Algeria, the revival and transformation of energy-efficient architectural techniques, landscaping and the use of water resources for the integrated provision of sustainable development of the region.
