Urban Policies and Social Relations in Morocco

Volume 5|Issue 18| Autumn 2016 |Articles

Abstract

This study analyzes urban policies and the nature of social relations in the neighborhoods of large Moroccan cities in the context of the ongoing intensive urbanization in Morocco. Urbanization has imposed a new society, culture, values, and modes of behavior of which the fundamental feature is individualism. Such features accompanied the new capitalist system that was imposed by the colonial administration and was also a product of the ecology of large human conglomerations confined within the space of a big city, the metropolis, or a giant city, the megacity.
