Medina Tunis Tunisia

With a population of just under 110,000 and a size of 270 hectares (670 acres)[8] (plus 29 hectares (72 acres) for the district of the kasbah), the Medina is one-tenth the size of Tunis and makes up a sixth of the urbanized area of the agglomeration.

An extensive colonial literature about the perilous Medina, which was anarchic and disorderly and the setting for ambushes, was inspired by the intricate organization of the urban fabric. However, research has shown that the articulation of the Medina areas is not random and that homes are built in accordance with distinct sociocultural norms, defined in accordance with complicated sorts of human connections, since the 1930s, when the first ethnologists arrived in the region. Numerous papers have described how the Medina model and system of prioritizing public and private priorities were developed.
