【 摘 要 】

Hay Mohammadi is the largest new development in Agadir. Located in the north-east of the city, this district spanning over 465 ha has been designed to accommodate some 100,000 inhabitants. It was planned in 2002 and in 2007 people started to move in. So far this area is still under construction. The first observations show that it suffers from a deficiency in terms of public facilities and services. In addition, problems of accessibility and mobility have been observed in this district. It appears that this new urban development has been designed to facilitate car movement at the expense of pedestrians, cyclists and other users of public space who are obliged to share roadways because neither sidewalks nor pedestrian streets are paved. In spite of the huge investment Hay Mohammadi gives the impression of a non-regulatory urban development characterized by underequipped outdoor spaces as is often the case in developing countries.
