The Role of Remote Sensing in Monitoring the Shortcomings of Urban Policy: The Case of Kenitra City Morocco
Abstract
Throughout the history of Kenitra City, the urban policy concept has taken on two main dimensions. First, it is the mechanisms through which the former French colonial authorities deliberately perpetuated an ethnic and spatial divide between Europeans and Moroccan citizens, which was imposed by economic, social, and security motives. Second, it was a political choice that came after independence and remained confined between the sectoral approach to management and the urgent treatment of problems. These two dimensions have led to the fragmentation of the city and the absence of integration and cohesion between its various components. More than a century after the adoption of the urban policy in Morocco, the city of Kenitra is now at a unique turning point in its history. It is at a stage where it will soon decide, in the coming generations, whether the new development experiences will create a barrier and disintegration with the classical urban policy, or continue down a path that will not guarantee decent living prospects. For this reason, based on remote sensing techniques, this work seeks to determine the logic governing urban decision-making and reveal the flaws in urban planning and the city policy followed in Kenitra. This will be achieved by monitoring and analyzing the exacerbations of many urban, social, economic, and environmental problems over recent decades.
