The Mechanical Permeability of the Urban Perimeter of the City of Havre and the City of Bejaia

Abstract

As part of the field of reflection on interurban mobility, this paper aims to identify the concept of mechanical permeability at the entrance to and within the urban perimeter of the city of Bejaia. In order to identify the essential parameters that would allow the city of Bejaia to enjoy good mechanical permeability, and sustainable interurban mobility, it was discussed in this investigation, to compare the quality of the mechanical permeability of the urban perimeter of the city of Bejaia, with that of the city of Le Havre in France, which enjoys excellent mechanical permeability in addition to the similarities noted between the two cities in terms of demographics, natural physical context, and the size of the urban area. The comparison between the two case studies will be completed by highlighting the essential quantitative and qualitative parameters for good mechanical permeability. This will allow us to make an objective assessment of the state of mechanical permeability in the city of Bejaia, and to take a critical look at the solutions recommended to ensure fluid, qualitative and sustainable mechanical permeability between the city of Bejaia and its urban area.
