L’accès au foncier urbain Régulations entre usages, fonctions et acteurs

Today, the demographic and economic dynamics stimulate an increasing competition for the access to the urban land. The multiplication of needs and logics of use of this non-reproducible resource activates, more than ever, the question of the regulation of the access to the land and questions the modalities of distribution of property rights between the various actors. If the availability of a land reserve and the regrouping of the means of action and control in the hands of Morrocan central state allowed it to guarantee the access of several households to the property, the exhaustion of this reserve and the emergence of changes linked to local (decentralization), and crossborder restructuring (globalization) marks the end of the certainties which guided public action and question its new registers. The hybrid practices, opportunistic and exceptional regarding land and urban production reveals the importance of the political stake in the regulation and governance of land in Morocco.
