Abstract
This research aims to identify some of the urban planning constants established by scholars and experienced practitioners in the founding of cities, and to examine their connection to the establishment of major urban centers of the Central Maghreb—such as Tihert, M’sila, Achir, Al-Qal‘a, Béjaïa, Constantine, and Tlemcen. This is achieved through an investigation of the environmental and ecological considerations observed in selecting city locations and planning. Accordingly, careful attention was given to place characteristics and suitability in relation to criteria present in many chosen sites. Consequently, these factors had a significant impact on the history of these cities, their future trajectories, transformations, and relations with their surrounding environment, which constitutes a vital space for both cities and inhabitants. On this basis, these cities were able to develop, endure, and withstand time.
