Abstract

Rapid urbanization and housing challenges are inescapable realities of our contemporary era. Around the world, many
urban regions face complex issues such as the shortage of quality housing, degraded neighborhoods, and continued
population growth. These issues raise crucial questions about how we manage our urban spaces and how we respond
to the needs of citizens. This work explores urban revitalization, both as a general concept in the specific context of
Algeria, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities that arise. Our study asks how the urban revitalization of a
neighborhood can be implemented in a relevant way while effectively promoting community participation? This
research, whose objective is to understand the challenges of urban revitalization, offers a strategic framework for
revitalization. Establishing recommendations to improve residents' quality of life, thus serving as a starting point for
future actions. It aspires to transform the neighbourhood into a vibrant and inclusive place, while mobilizing the
community engagement and resources needed for successful urban revitalization.
