Algeria is set to embrace vertical urban expansion, with the potential to construct high-rise residential buildings even in regions prone to seismic activity. This was confirmed by Mohamed Tarek Belaribi, the Minister of Housing, Urban Planning, and the City, who underscored the critical importance of strict adherence to established technical and regulatory standards.<\/p>\n
Responding to an inquiry from National People's Assembly Deputy Rabah Jeddou on May 11, Minister Belaribi clarified that proposals for increasing building heights would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the unique characteristics of each specific site. He emphasized that vertical expansion, while a viable option, would not be adopted as an automatic remedy for land scarcity, highlighting a nuanced approach to urban development.<\/p>\n
DZWatch understands that the Minister's departments are actively studying the feasibility of constructing tall buildings, meticulously assessing technical data pertinent to each location. Furthermore, a dedicated committee comprising representatives from three ministries has been tasked with developing comprehensive safety requirements for high-rise structures, ensuring the well-being and security of future residents.<\/p>\n
