Les villes tunisiennes

Some Prospects for Tunisian Cities in 2009. Interregional disparities in Tunisia have worsened because of the present demographic growth. The future of the Tunisian urban system, regional sub-systems, is already influenced by the growth or the regression potentialities specific to each urban unit. In order to elaborate urban demographic perspectives, it is necessary to take into account the regional aspects in the dynamics of population. After analysing methodological problems and evolution factors, a panorama of the urban space in the year 2009 is presented.

In the inner part of the country, a stronger natural movement could counterbalance, it would seem, the negative effects of the emigration to more attractive regions. But, as regards structure by age, the contrasts would be reinforced
