Marrakech suffocates

The environmentalist movement “Maroc Environnement 2050” expresses serious concerns about the urban developments underway in Marrakech, in the run-up to the 2030 Football World Cup. The association calls for a complete overhaul of the transport system in order to prioritize sustainable mobility and improving the quality of life of residents.

In a press release, “Maroc Environnement 2050” warns of the deterioration of air quality in the ocher city. Air pollution has reached an “unbearable” level, according to the association, which fears that road widening work will further worsen the situation by encouraging car traffic.
