Dynamics of Urbanization in the City of Rabat-Morocco, Which Sustainable Transition?

Rabat, Morocco's capital, faces significant challenges despite its advantages as a post-Protectorate city. A study by Elhamdouni et al. (2024) reveals that while Rabat has experienced urban evolution with historical and political importance, it grapples with issues such as rural exodus, insecurity, and urban pockets. The research employs a cartographic approach using time sequences to visualize Rabat's urban dynamics, aiming to answer critical questions about its evolutionary stages and future trajectory. This method highlights the complex interplay of spatial, social, economic, political, and environmental factors shaping the city's sustainable transition.
