Este libro analiza cómo la metropolización puede mejorar la competitividad de ciudades medianas. Propone un enfoque de metropolización policéntrica que permita a estas ciudades especializarse en una red urbana. Se evalúa su aplicación en ciudades marroquíes, considerando su originalidad morfológica y promoviendo un policentrismo funcional.
Globalization imperative or response to territorial development needs?The case of Morocco
Focusing on the metropolisation process, this book explores how medium-sized cities can enhance their competitiveness through functional polycentric development. It argues that urban planning must extend beyond individual city boundaries, advocating for a collaborative metropolitan framework. The analysis is particularly relevant to Moroccan cities, emphasizing their unique morphological characteristics, where cities often exist in pairs. The text encourages local stakeholders to adapt to this duality and promote a polycentric approach that leverages functional complementarities for urban growth.
