BARTHEL, Pierre-Arnaud. Tunis: A City in the Making – The Creation of a Waterfront Metropolis. [31497]
Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2006, in/8 paperback, 206 pages. Black-and-white illustrations.
“Since the 1990s, following the example of other Mediterranean capitals, Tunis has been moving towards a more strategic approach to its development, with urban planning at its heart. Among the most ‘visible’ urban developments of recent years, the urbanisation of the lagoon is the largest construction project in the Arab world: 2,600 hectares of land reserves, situated in the heart of the capital and mostly reclaimed from the water, are currently being developed, with the final operational phases due to be completed by 2040–2050! With a view to updating and supplementing a number of analyses published on Tunis during the 1980s, Pierre-Arnaud Barthel’s book outlines the current urban dynamics of this emerging metropolis, characterised by a marked acceleration in the development of both legal and illegal urban areas, as well as a reorganisation of the state’s modes of action linked to the growing involvement of private and international actors. This book is aimed at readers interested in urban and planning issues, offering insights into the current challenges facing Greater Tunis. It will provide an insight into the metropolitan context of a capital city in the ‘South’. By offering an in-depth analysis of the development plans for the lagoon, which is emblematic of new ways of shaping the city”
