*************

Biskra (Arabic: بسكرة ‎; Berber:  Tibeskert); Latin Vescera) is the capital city of Biskra Province, Algeria. In 2007, its population was recorded as 307,987. Since existence, Biskra was a hub between north and south. Due to its geographical location, its climate, its natural resources, especially farming, it has experienced the passage of all civilizations, from the Romans through the Arabs, even the French. In 1844, Biskra became a French garrison.^[1]As of 1935, Biskra was an inland town, the principal settlement of a Saharan oasis watered by the intermittent Oued Biskra. In 1911, it was described as the Nice of Algiers.^[2] It is in the southern part of the Algerian rail system, and a favourite winter resort. Large quantities of fruit, especially dates and olives, were grown in the vicinity.^[2] The town was a military post, and was the scene of severe fighting in the rebellions of 1849 and 1871.

Biskra has always been appreciated by the warm welcome of its inhabitants. She has is a pole of attraction for tourists, given its tourist potential and mild climate during a good period of the year, hence the need for a general knowledge of the context and these different components were an absolute necessity as it had an impact direct on urban development and vice versa, Biskra has hot desert climate.

Thus the legal and administrative status of a region, the environment through these physical, geographical, climatic and economic data are decisive factors in the construction to be cared for, and take them into consideration.

It is a crossroads between cities in the north of the country. Especially those of east (Constantine, Batna, Khenchela, Setif and Annaba and those of the Center (Alger, M'sila) and the cities of the South is especially (Touggourt, Ouargla, Ghardaia and Hassi-Messaoud).
