  • The preparation procedures of the SOTT: STRATEGY Of The TOWN OF TUNIS

    - Structures of dialog adapted to the objectives of the SOTT:

    It NFTC, the municipality of Tunis and PGU/Tunisia joined to their efforts and set up a team of joint project, chaired by the mayor of Tunis, President of the NFTC. This consultation receives the contribution of six experts highly qualified in the fields of social economic development and, the environment, the urban transport, the development and municipal finances, town planning and the communication.

    The Project team (ensuring the coordination and the technical secretariat of work of the SOTT).
    The work groups (made up around the major sets of themes defined by the team of Project).
    The groups of actors (industrial, hotel, associations, developers, journalists…).
    - A team of experts with the service of the municipal team:
    The experts brought, within the framework of their fields of competence a continuous technical assistance with the work groups and the team of project: they ensured working of the various documents constituting the information supports, dialog and communication of the SOTT and proposed the methodology of work.
    - Six work groups met around the sets of themes suggested by the team of project:
    The cultural policy and communication strategy of the city.
    them finances and management local elections.
    - Environment, infrastructures and services environmental.
    The economic development and social of the town of Tunis.
    The urban transport, circulation, infrastructures of the communication and telecommunications.
    The urban projects and installation

    The state of the city: assets, weaknesses, opportunities, challenges:
    To formalize the diagnosis on the state of the city, the consultants opted for the
    the collaboration of representatives:
    - Various municipal services (Directorate of the Roadway system and Circulation, Directorate of the Municipal Affairs, Directorate of the environment, Directorate of Town planning, press service)
    - Head offices of the ministries concerned (Environment and town planning, Employment, Equipment and housing, Interior and local communities, transport…)
    - Principal public agencies concerned: shipping companies, companies of installation, centers of social defense, office of cleansing, National institute of the Statistics…
    - Private sector: town planners, conveyers, academics…
    - Media.
    The consultation of the statistics, of the available and recent studies made it possible to summarize the principal elements in four central interrogations:
    - Can Tunis be competitive? Can it be a regional city? A total city?
    - How to guarantee “the right to the city” for all and all?
    - How to rationalize the organization of space and the management of the environment to serve the city?
    - How to manage the transitions and to carry “the project of city? ”
    can answer to the question “Tunis be competitive? Can it be one
    regional city? a total city? ”
    The following elements were put forward:
    • The economic weight of Large Tunis is maintained (1st economic and industrial pole country, 1/3 of the companies and GDP)
    • Saving in Tunis like that of the developing country (political, scientific, cultural vocation…)
    •The industrial sectors decrease (saturation from the industrial parks in Tunis, specialization of the industrial activities with high added value)
    •Capacities of development exist in the hotel sector (tourism of congress and balneal tourism on the level of the Northern tourist area)
    •Tunis is today the greatest money market of the country (65% of the financial companies)

    The main weaknesses are:
    - The attractivity of Tunis for direct foreign investment is not sufficient even if it shelters 33% of the companies, 26% from the investments and 27% of employment.
    - Several zones are excluded from the economic dynamic because of imbalance of operation of the WP.
    The competitiveness of Tunis depends on the quality of its human resources: Tunis is privileged but the unemployment rate of the graduates of the superior is in progression and the rates of illiteracy remain high (27% for the women, 12% for the men).

    Questions remaining outstanding:
    Does the choices of development go in the direction of a better control of the economic transitions in progress?
    - Does Tunis have the capacities to satisfy the assigned objectives?
    Are the objectives clear for all the, partners?
    - Are they mobilized towards these common objectives?
    - Which are the realistic expiries?
    - Are Globalisation and social cohesion reconcilable?

    As an answer to the question how to guarantee the “right to the city” for all and all? Up to what point does Tunis guarantee to its citizens an equitable access to its spaces, its richnesses, its services?
    - Tunis is the most favored area of the country in terms of equipment, residences, and economic conditions of the populations:
    The rates of schooling and elimination of illiteracy are highest.
    People living under the poverty line fell to 4,2% to the national scales but there remains higher in urban environment.
    But unemployment persists: 1 young person from 18 to 24 years out of 3 is with unemployment against 1 credit out of 6 with the national scales.
    In Large Tunis, the proportion of young person to unemployment is of 35%.
    - The evolution of the expenditure by anybody and per annum (DPA) is slow at the national level and in fall in Tunis:
    *Evolution of 0.4% in Tunisia between 1990 and 1995 - 0.5% in Tunis.
    - Imbalances persist as regards service road by public transport (TC) in spite of the made efforts:
    The development of the private car and the road infrastructures accompanies the development by Tunis.
    - The access on the ground and housing remains difficult for the households with modest income in spite of the equipment of the popular quarters and the rehousing of the inhabitants of the unhealthy palates of the Medina (Oukalas).

    The quality of life improves in Tunis:
    The municipal investments out of equipment socio-collectives in the town of Tunis are of 15DT/hab/with against 26 at the national level (Tunis has less of delay to catch up with).
    The environmental quality evolves: 9.24 m2 green area: habitant
    As regards to the question: “How to rationalize the organization of space and the management of the environment to serve the city?”.
    - Tunis starts to develop its natural assets: 3 lakes, of tens of km of littoral. The restoration/installation of the Tunis Lake changes the face of the city and its quality of life.
    Other lakes require interventions of scale such Sebkha of essijoumi and Sabkha of Ariana.
    Tunis is given an exceptional urban inheritance:
    It Medina of Tunis east one of preserved best world.
    - The association of safeguard of Medina (ASM) engaged of many interventions of the patrimonial type (70 touched residences, 700 other aimings) and of social restoration (Hafsia, Oukalas).

    transitions and to carry the project of city? ”
