“…This issue, as Aiche (2006) assert, becomes destabilizing for a whole generation that identifies its roots with a heritage representing otherness. Beyond the artistic or economic value of cultural goods (Palaiologou & Griffiths, 2019;Terracciano et al, 2017), the notion of identity is fundamentally linked to heritage and its translation into the symbolic urban image (Kagan, 2022;Low et al, 2005;Phetsuriya & Heath, 2021). The recognition of a legacy as heritage that does not carry values recognized by all as determining its own identity can be an insurmountable compromise for some ideologies (Kaufmann, 2009;Obad Šćitaroci et al, 2019).…”

The urban configuration of Algerian cities reflects the influence of French colonization (1883-1962). This is characterized by a collection of contrasts and overlays of different forms of architecture and urbanism. In all urban agglomerations in Algeria, the colonial section remains the most prominent and structured. This legacy of colonial architecture and urban planning has ignited a national debate in political and academic circles regarding its classification as heritage. This current study contributes to the debate by adopting a neutral and scientific approach in order to smooth things out and shed light on the role and creation of urban form and its image, specifically through the example of Jijel. The notion of urban image is explored through colonial architectural achievements, urban planning, and artistic endeavours that were emblematic of the city during the colonial period and continue to be so today. This article showcases various works created during the colonial period in Jijel, those that still convey an identity that defines the city. The concern for this identity is substantiated by a research project that seeks to identify the city's image through significant architectural works across different epochs and determine those that accurately convey the city's identity within the country.

“…Public participation plays an essential role in urban design regarding decision-making and community acceptance of a proposed intervention in the urban environment [15]. In the past five years, many authors have focused on building a bridge between the participatory and design processes through virtual visualization [10,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. In response to this demand for digital participation in the making of cities, the use of digital tools and online platforms have become popular [24,25].…”

“…Another similar application is proposed by Terracciano [18], based on AR technology that allows the user to experience a street in seven minutes. This application could reproduce the actual context of the area by reading the map, certain symbols, and other detailed information from the site such as images and videos containing storytelling features [19,23].…”

Digitalization, Participation and Interaction: Towards More Inclusive Tools in Urban Design—A Literature Review

2022

The 11th sustainable development goal highlights the importance of making our cities more inclusive. For that, planning processes should become more engaging and empower citizens to actively participate in designing their environments. However, the COVID-19 crisis exposed inequalities and posed challenges to communal activities due to restrictions on face-to-face activities. These constraints brought many researchers and practitioners to rethink the process of co-designing workshops, putting digitalization in the spotlight. The present study consists of a systematic literature review focusing on understanding how digital technologies affect participatory approaches in urban design and how they have evolved since the 1990s. Also, it investigates the correlation between levels of participation and interaction in different types of collaborative design workshops held in communities. We found that many authors have been developing new methodologies and digital tools aiming to digitalize the co-designing experience through mediation. However, there is no evolutionary evidence of tools in the field creating bridges between digitalization, participation, and interaction. We argue that a research agenda is required to produce more sophisticated tools to tackle social barriers and support inclusive design towards sustainable urban development patterns.
