Abstract

Urban planning authorities prepare successive strategic plans intending to achieve development in targeted areas and improve the quality of life there. In existing cities, numerous issues persist related to poor services, despite the Central Organization for Public Mobilization's continuous efforts, which are not fully utilized. This requires analyzing the data in a different way to make the best use of the results.to develop and propose solutions based on feasibility studies that can be implemented. We find that rapid urbanization has led to inequality in access to urban services that achieve the necessary efficiency for citizens. This results from the lack of coverage of education, healthcare, and many other services for all levels of the population, leading to service gaps at the city level. better served than others. This is a result of the unplanned and random expansion of existing old cities, which has allowed increasing service gaps. At the same time, there is an increase in population density. This has led to duality, as the same population density has made a difference between the levels of services from one region to another, with some areas benefiting exceptionally, while others do not benefit at all due to various factors, such as spatial distance or difficulty in access.
