Abstract
In Algeria, after independence, the urbanisation tendency dictated by political choice, excluded the colonial city centre from the whole development of the town. This led to its marginalisation, taking numerous forms and generating many problems. However, despite the fact, that today this marginalisation is recognised, the inherited situation of these old centres is still problematic, if we consider the dangerous evolution they are experiencing and which is compromising their life. Biskra old colonial city centre is an example, illustrating the case of similar colonial urban areas, which are marginalised today. Nevertheless, this urban and architectural heritage is part of territorial, social and economic reality and has also historic, symbolic and patrimonial qualities, which give it a particular position in this city.
