Morocco's Housing Ministry Engages Public at International Book Fair

Morocco's Ministry of National Territory Planning, Urbanism, Housing, and City Policy is actively participating in the 31st International Book and Publishing Fair in Rabat, an event held under the patronage of King Mohammed VI. Running from April 30 to May 10, the fair's theme, 'Deep-rooted cultural identity and authentic renewed urbanism,' resonates deeply with the ministry's mission. Minister Fatima Ezzahra Mansouri emphasized that the ministry's presence signifies a commitment to opening up the sector to its cultural and academic environment. It's an opportunity to bring major projects and initiatives closer to citizens, integrating the human and cultural dimensions into public policies. The ministry views housing and urban planning not just as development tools but as pillars of sustainable development, aligning with royal directives. This participation, the first for the ministry at this prominent cultural event, is part of a broader effort to make sectoral public policies more accessible and to foster dialogue between the public and the ministry's ongoing projects. It also seeks to encourage interaction with academics, researchers, and students on urban planning and territorial development issues. A dedicated pavilion will host direct interactions with ministry officials, alongside academic seminars led by experts and students, discussing the sector's transformations and emerging issues. The ministry extends a warm welcome to all visitors, urging its staff to actively participate and ensure a strong sectoral presence across all fronts.
