LA CONURBATION DU CENTRE-EST DE MONASTIR ENTRE INDIVIDUALITE ET COMPLEMENTARITE FONCTIONNELLE
THE CONURBATION OF THE CENTER-EAST OF MONASTIR BETWEEN INDIVIDUALITY AND FUNCTIONAL COMPLEMENTARITY

Summary/Abstract: The towns of central-eastern of Monastir have over time been able to form anurban complex, which is referred to as conurbation. The study shows that this form of urbangrowth is not simply due to the coalescence of urban fabrics, favored by the short distancesthat separate these cities. It is also the result of the complementarity already establishedbetween these centers, although they are originally individualized. The study of spatialstructures shows that these cities have remained individualized and their respective structuresare well characterized. They do not appear in a uniform mass; they each have a more or lesscomplex structure comprising residential areas, various facilities, an industrial area, etc.Moreover, these agglomerations today have very strong links of interdependence andconstitute a veritable urban complex where functional complementarities clearly appear; eachcity makes its contribution to the functioning of the whole system and it happens that somestand out in one sector or another.
