El Haddadine souk (the blacksmiths' workshop) in the Medina of the city of Sfax in Tunisia, as seen in 2000

The Medina is the traditional city centre, meticulously planned back in the Middle Ages for easy access, segmentation of functions, and compactness - or what we now call ‘high density’.

 

The Medina embodies the main principles of sustainable development including a practical equality of status between people and their different economic roles and functions.
