The city of Constantine has undergone in its urban fabric where the habitat is marked by great diversity due to the history of the urbanization and the particularity of its site. Among all types of housing made in Algeria, that of the individual has experienced a spectacular development of all the cities in Algeria with the political subdivision, real estate promotion. These policies have transformed the urban landscape of cities, especially in terms of space, proliferation of individual housing areas. . The aim of our work is to understand the origin of the evolution of typologies of individual homes through the different historical periods (pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial & contemporary) experienced by Constantine. It is a new phase, characterized by new experiences. It is necessary to study the impact of all these types of individual housing on one of the new town Ali Mendjeli which is one of the solutions adopted by Constantine, to relieve a downtown bridge and a saturated large housing deficit and whose major concern was finding a better architectural quality of the habitat and a better balance between habitat and inhabitant. It is important to take into account local cultures and enhance their positive characteristics that will be based on the recovery of some elements of traditional architecture and the re-interpreted in order to adjust to modern life, to produce an individual housing incorporating appropriate lifestyles and cultural patterns of the Algerian family with all its components and in all its complexity.
