Carta - Reichen et Robert Associates - Casablanca – Anfa

The Anfa project (475 ha) consists in transforming the city's former airport to create a city with a population of 100,000 and 100,000 jobs. The first operational phase (115 ha) is now being built. We are providing urban-design monitoring and also had the commission for designing the public spaces. We are also prime contractors for the first test housing block (250 units). Planning and development study for the Anfa sector of Casablanca, operating studies of the blocks built. Study for the Financial District, conducting the DAL, “consulting architect” for the Agence d'Urbanisation et de Développement d'Anfa (Anfa Urban Planning and Development Agency – AUDA). Project supervision, public spaces: Overall pre-project design (AVP) and project design (PRO) for the 1st operational phase.

Anfa plays a special role within the city of Casablanca: it is a modest urban project by comparison with the immense territories open to urbanisation, and at the same time it is Morocco's flagship project, destined to be the symbol of urban renewal in the country.
We want to resolve this apparent contradiction by introducing the idea of a “latter-day centrality” in the contemporary city.
Prost's “Centre” district was the generator of the city's development. Anfa, Casablanca's second centre, will be the keystone of a transformation programme for the existing city. The status of that modernity is what needs to be defined.
