Summary:The green spaces are parts of social expectations and affective reactions that show the deep attachment of the population. Whatever shape they take, green spaces take part in shaping the urban scenery and hence they contribute in life quality of the city. Their role is diverse-social, psychological, ecological, aesthetic, cultural and political. With an awareness raising trend, the wellbeing of cities has seen another interest regained in what concerns the city green spaces. This study which concerns itself with the dynamic situation of urban and sub urban green spaces of Bousaâda, Algeria and its position in the town management, is conducted through a diagnostic survey achieved under the city managers. The floristic inventory showed the existence of a great floristic diversity. In sum, 74 species distributed in 62 genres and 37 families. These were heterogeneously distributed through the urban construct, but globally concentrated in the north-east (33%) and to the southwest (32%).Due to the fast urban changes, this horticultural richness started to feel the danger coming from the urban environmental conditions. Hence, it receives multiple aggressions and difficulties.72 medicinal species are inventoried in the different stations of Bousaâda (green spaces and palm grove of Bousaâda, Chott El Hodna and Djebel Kerdada).
