Bouregreg Valley Development Project

Bouregreg Valley Development Project

Keeping in mind environmental principles, the Bouregreg Valley development is split into 6 complementary phases notably. Right now, only the first two phases are initiated. The first phase aims to be a major entertainment centre in the world and will cost 7 billion dirhams. Covering an area of 30 hectares, it includes hotels, cafes, residential homes, amusement parks, urban rail transport such as tram. The second phase is a bridge which consists of a pedestrian/cycling platform, tram lines and a viaduct. The other phases include more access roads and a marina project along the coastline. They also include “new neighbourhoods for professional and residential use, as well as public amenities and spaces. It will also preserve cultivated land, create natural ecological spaces, carry out reforestation activities and restore water courses that represent a risk of causing gully erosion and landslides. Furthermore, it will deliver effective urban continuity between the two towns and improve road infrastructure, links, and traffic flow between the cities of Rabat and Salé.” (Ufmsecretariat)
