Managing the Urban Environment – Casablanca, Morocco.

      Аннотация: This volume is the 9th in a series of books that focus on the practice of Urban Environmental Management (UEM) in developing countries. Such cities face more immediate problems than those in the developed world and have fewer resources to deal with them. This study is the report of a graduate studio that took place at the School of Planning, College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP), University of Cincinnati, USA from August through December 2022. The objective of the studio was to prepare students to work overseas in data-poor environments as professional consulting planners. The 14 domestic and international students operated in sector-level teams preparing a 5-Year Environmental Plan for Casablanca, Morocco. This important port has a long and fascinating history, with both architectural treasures and the remnants of a glorious but contested path. As the largest city and most important port of the Maghreb region of North Africa, it is plagued by poverty, and serious environmental problems of poor air quality, transportation congestion, water pollution, and inadequate sewage and sanitation infrastructure among them.
