Urban project lever of local economy in bousaada

Abstract

The city of Boussaâda's beauty and wealth of landscapes and nature have a major influence on its tourist life. In addition, an economy based on tourism only is not a profitable one, especially after the Covid 19 pandemic. To make the most of our city's wealth, we're proposing an urban project with a guaranteed urban economy that will address one of the major problems facing Algeria today. We'll be working to create a second economic dimension in the city, for commercial purposes or simply to create jobs for young people, who make up 48.49% of the population (according to the official PDAU report). Our project consists of exploiting and benefiting from the wealth of underground water and aquifers in Boussaâda, where our intervention takes the form of an aquaculture project, also known as Fish Farming, as a concept similar to agriculture. The aim is to produce aquatic species in the water resources. Aquaculture is both a source of nutrition and an additional source of income for those living in these regions. It increases the number of possible jobs on the market as it both provides new products to the market and creates employment opportunities due to the labor required to maintain the fish tanks and harvest the production. The advantage in Boussaâda is that the water will be turned into an ecological cycle where it will be reused to irrigate the palm grove, which is located just beyond an ecological green urban economy project. Our vision is to create new jobs in our city and contribute to an efficient urban economy in the zone.
