	Abstract Since 2014, we have witnessed an acceleration of the pace of massive relocation operations in Algerian cities, particularly in the capital, with the ambition of making the city of Algiers the first African capital without slums. This article presents an evaluation of the relocation operations carried out during the period from 2014 to 2016. The objective is to identify the socio-spatial impacts of massive relocation on the province of Algiers and the neighboring cities. For this purpose, we adopted a method based on the flow analysis of slum dwellers relocated with the data visualization technique, widely used in GIS. The results show that a large number of inhabitants were relocated in a relatively short time and that there was a random distribution of slum dwellers from the capital to communes within or outside its administrative boundaries, with negative impacts on socio-spatial transformations of Algiers.
