Roubaix is an important city in the province of Algiers in northeastern Algeria, located about 20 kilometers east of the capital Algiers, on the Mediterranean coastal plain, and is part of the Algiers metropolitan area. Built at the end of the 19th century as an agricultural and industrial center during the French colonial period, the city now has a strong economy based on chemicals, food processing and light industry, and is surrounded by a well-developed agricultural sector that produces citrus and vegetables. The city of Roubaix combines modern urbanity with traditional North African charm, and has a high level of green coverage, with a number of parks and seaside recreational areas. As a transportation hub connecting Algiers with the eastern provinces, the city retains the European architecture of the colonial period and the distinctive flavor of Arab-Berber culture, making it an important window to experience Algeria's multiculturalism.
