The Welfare State and Housing Policy in Algeria: The Burden of the Political Management of Urban Revenues

Abstract

This article proposes an interpretation of the rationales and social movements (social networks for the collection of residential property and land, urban riots, etc.) that have appeared in the past few years as a result of access to the residential properties produced and distributed by the State, considering this point to be central in the current social and political context. These properties, which are very largely subsidized because of the economic advantages that they provide indirectly (rental escape) or directly (speculative sale on the market), have become the forms which crystallize urban revenues as derived forms from oil revenue.
