Hassi Messaoud New Town Will Be Designed to Accommodate 80,000 People

摘要

The urban plan for Hassi Messaoud New Town has been ratified by the authorities. It is designed for the accommodation of around 80,000 people, and the aim is to have 45,000 people living there by 2017 and 65,000 by 2020. The reason for creating this new town, for which a presidential decree was promulgated in September 2006, is to relocate the existing town, which is located in a zone at risk due to the intensive exploitation of hydrocarbons.
