The geographical perspective of a transformation: Jnane Aztout, from slum to larachí neighborhood

Abstract

The recognition received by the Spain-Morocco South-South Cooperation Project for the Urbanization of the Jnane Aztout slums, in Larache, Morocco at the XI cycle of the Dubai International Awards For Best Practices, UN-HABITAT, in May of 2018, provides an opportunity to review the geographical perspective within the framework of this interdisciplinary project. Seeking to reflect a posteriori about this experience with a view to ordering and systematising its geographical perspective could be useful, because it asserts the validity of its diagnostics and the capacity of this discipline to foster convergent dialogue. If, furthermore, the replicability of this intervention model were acknowledged, the project in Larache would then light the way for others to follow.
