Abstract
Residential mobility in Algiers had a very significant socio-spatial impact; social contrasts appear between the central municipalities which are more airy, more equipped with low fertility and much better educated. In other case, younger outlying municipalities, under-equipped, where modest social classes are much more present.
Residential mobility has had an impact on the demographic structure of central municipalities in demographic decline and peripheral municipalities with migration gains. The proportion of children and young people are becoming more important in the suburban municipalities which will certainly grow needs for basic infrastructure, education, health, transport...
In the absence of any strategy of planning in its dimensions as national and regional or local, which strategy in the case of cities should regulate the flow of population, urbanization continues haphazardly. Our research is based on statistical analysis of General Population and Habitat Census of 2008, the evolution of the demographic structure territories between two GPHC (1998 and 2008) and cartographic representations of the various phenomena related to residential mobility.
Keywords: residential mobility, demographic disparities, Algiers, urbanization policy, GPHC of 1998 and 2008.

Title (Translated)
Residential mobility and socio-demographic and spatial redistribution in Algiers: recent trends
Abstract (Translated)
Residential mobility in Algiers has had a very significant socio-spatial impact. Social contrasts can be seen between the central municipalities which are less dense, have lower fertility and a much better level of education, and the more recent municipalities on the outskirts, which are under-equipped and inhabited by more modest social classes. Residential mobility has also had an impact on the demographic structure of the central municipalities in demographic decline and the peripheral municipalities which have more migrants. The proportion of children and young people is increasing in the suburban municipalities whose needs for basic infrastructure, education, health and transport will increase. In the absence of a town planning strategy with national, regional and local components, which should have regulated population flow, urbanization is continuing to be haphazard. Our research is based on a statistical analysis of the 2008 General Population and Housing Census, evolution of the demographic structure of the different areas between two GPHCs (1998 and 2008) and mapping of the various phenomena related to residential mobility.
