Sidi Abdellah is a planned community in Algeria in the southwestern suburbs of Algiers. It was created as a model of sustainable development by emphasizing an open urban fabric that does not suffer from the stifling overcrowding in the neighborhoods of Algiers inherited from the French occupation of Algeria.

Transportation

Two railway stations lie within the boundaries of Sidi Abdellah, the Gare de Sidi Abdellah and the Gare de l'Université de Sidi Abdellah. They are located on the Birtouta-Zéralda line and are served by trains from the Algiers suburban rail network managed by the National Company for Rail Transport (SNTF).

Future projections

When it was created in 2004, Sidi Abdellah was projected to include 54,000 dwellings and 270,000 inhabitants when completed. In 2020, this was revised to a projected 90,000 dwellings and 450,000 inhabitants when completed. [3]

When completed, the community is planned to have eight districts: a city center; an information and communications technologies district; a pharmaceutical district; a commercial district; a university district; a security district; a health district; and a relaxation and leisure district.
