Constructing Potentials of Territorial and Infra-landscape Development for Small Peripheral Cities of the Metropolitan City of Tunis Exemple of Tebourba

In developing the performance of the Tunis city, including economic performance, one should begin with recognition and a radical change in its space and landscape character. This new way of understanding the territory has led us to think about different strategies of knowledge regarding of the metropolis of Tunis, which focuses on already existing spaces and landscape while at the same time as proposing new forms of development that focus on the place and role of the citizen in the city. These ideas experimented with in other countries, challenge conventional methods of design and use of public space, which are often out of touch with current social practices. This metropolitan area invented by the planners will not be the city that tourists come to visit, or that is found in the mental images of many Tunisians. It would be a set of territories composed of a multitude of places and distinct landscapes, local stories and architectural and urban forms that would must be identified, redefined and enhanced. This research attempts to address metropolitan space and landscape not based on coherent spatial models but from infra- landscapes composed of landscape fragments and unfinished models.
