The sustainable development of Greater Marrakech will be ensured through balanced planning between urban expansion, transportation routes, infrastructure services, economic and agricultural activities, and the protection of natural and historical sites and cultural heritage.
A total of 11 project fiches and their financing have been elaborated in detail in the following areas: Urban development, mobility, housing, culture and heritage, economy, tourism, equipment, infrastructure, environment and green spaces.
