Benarba presents alternative urban planning map and highlights key issues to Morocco’s Ministry of Territorial Development
Nizar Baraka, Secretary-General of the Independence Party, criticized the policies governing urban planning in Morocco, especially in rural areas. He highlighted that migration from villages to cities has averaged 200,000 people annually over the past decade, leading to an aging population and an average age exceeding 50 in some regions. He also pointed out the complexity of licensing procedures and the multiplicity of land regulations, which turn urban planning documents into obstacles to investment rather than incentives. Baraka proposed a political vision that includes a special law for villages to define development mechanisms and encourage non-agricultural activities such as rural tourism and light industries. He emphasized the importance of developing the digital economy, aiming to reform the sector and achieve comprehensive and sustainable development in rural areas.
