description | The tension between planning and project-based urban planning is a classic debate in spatial planning. This tension is reinforced by the major transformations of Moroccan cities, particularly in their peripheries. Public actors at all levels are fluctuating between regulation and strategic support for the market dynamics. In the race for metropolitan influence, this dual positioning challenges the instruments and reshapes the stakeholder networks. The article explores the role of urban planning tools, which are constantly being questioned by those involved in the urban fabric as to their ineffectiveness in planning the city, and which are often out of date by the time they are approved, despite the fact that many public players are involved in their elaboration.The article is based on a qualitative approach using semistructured interviews with those involved in urban planning and development. Firstly, it explores the evolution of the Plan d'Aménagement (PA), a tool introduced by the colonial power and subject to the tension between opening up lands to urbanisation and keeping territories under control. This tool has been particularly affected by the massive opening up to urbanisation on the outskirts. The example of El Menzeh, a municipality strategically located at the gateway to the capital, provides an opportunity to explore the current role of the document, in particular its ability to enforce a certain type of formal city and control its settlement. Finally, at the crossroads of ordinary and exceptional planning institutional and instrumental reconfigurations, renewing the tension between security issues and growth ambitions. |
