• Figure 6.17. The diagram shows the changes made to the streets of Ottoman Algiers by the French during the nineteenth century. The streets shown in solid lines are the old Ottoman streets, and those shown in dotted lines were taken out by the French. As a result, three different street morphologies can be observed in the old city: (1) an area with almost no morphological change; (2) an area with moderate morphological change; and (3) an area that does not preserve the old street morphology.
