-Home with Love-

In the new town of Sidi Abdellah in Algiers, there are some red-brown and beige

buildings of its Mahelma community. In the evening, some residents walk

leisurely on the paths, and groups of children happily playing near the slides.

Many young people run on the football field, enjoying the game. This is the

apartment complex of the Sidi Abdellah government subsidized housing built by

China State Construction Engineering Corporation(CSCEC). Since it was completed

and put into use in 2019, it has helped over 10,000 locals realize their dream

of living comfortably, and effectively improved local housing conditions.

BENSSADA Loubna's family is a beneficiary of the project. In the past, they

huddled together in a shabby community in Ain Benian. Today, owning a home of

their own is a source of happiness for them. "In 2019, my family and I moved

into the new apartment built by the Chinese. Before that I always worried

simply because we didn't have a stable place to live."

"When I opened the door of my new home, the feeling was indescribable, like

starting a new life." Loubna said excitedly. Project manager Xuan Shijie said

what impressed him most were the smiling faces of those who had moved in and

their heartfelt greetings to the builders.

CSCEC borrowed the concept of the Barcelona Superblock to make the inner

traffic more people-friendly. The privacy of the residents is also well

protected. "This is not a luxury project. But we did spend a lot of efforts in

materials and the details of the design and facilities to promote residents'

happiness," Xuan said.

Affordable housing also allows more residents to join CSCEC. Omar, a local

electromechanical engineer, is one of them. He's worked on the project site for

10years. He said, "I am so proud to be part of the company and to help improve

my compatriots' living conditions." According to statistics, the company has

provided job opportunities for more than 27,000 local people.

CSCEC has been involved in the construction in Algeria for 40years. To date,

CSCEC has built over 170,000 dwellings in Algeria, covering an area of about

17million square meters. It has solved housing problems for nearly 1 million

people and in so doing made important contributions to people's livelihoods in

Algeria.
