ABSTRACT
The transport sector has seen significant development in recent years. Algerian cities, like other cities in the world, have grown and expanded their geographic area, and the population has increased as well, leading to increased demand for transportation. However, this increase and growth have not been accompanied by development in the policies adopted in organizing transportation and its means.
The city of Mila, like other Algerian cities, suffers from several problems, including marginalization, which dominates several neighborhoods. This is characterized by isolation and difficulty of access to an area or region within the city, and results from several internal and external factors. What has worsened the situation in these neighborhoods is that they are victims of urban development tools and planning policies, along with poor management and organization of transportation and traffic movement. This has deepened the crisis, depriving them of mobility and vitality, and has led to their continued marginalization and isolation from other neighborhoods
in the city.
The objective of this research is to implement innovative solutions and proposals for the marginalized neighborhood, aimed at fostering balance and harmony while ensuring its integration into the dynamics of development through the enhancement of public urban bus transportation.
