Beginning of Participatory Urbanism and the Sustainable City: Case of Rabat, Morocco

Abstract

Since its independence, Morocco suffered from many economic, social, environmental, and urban challenges. To deal with the existing dysfunctions, the State will look towards creating structuring projects, laws, national programs, etc. Except that all, the measures taken to remedy this do not integrate the population. The objective of this study is the participatory approach concretization in the process of sustainable development through a questionnaire targeting the resident population and the daily citizens in Rabat. As a result, various dysfunctions affecting mobility, pollution, and the living environment in general in Rabat were highlighted. These results will be the subject of a roadmap for an integrated and inclusive sustainable development project in a safe environment.
