Abstract

In recent decades, Morocco has witnessed considerable advancement in urban mobility, largely due to the establishing of contemporary infrastructure such as tramways and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. Nevertheless, the country continues to confront significant structural impediments that impede the implementation of genuinely sustainable mobility solutions. This paper examines the principal developments achieved, particularly in the period preceding the 2030 World Cup, while also identifying persistent deficiencies, including inadequate infrastructure, a lack of institutional coordination, and a reliance on private vehicles. Furthermore, this paper presents an in-depth analysis of the negative externalities of mobility, such as congestion and pollution, while emphasizing the potential benefits of new technologies and the transition to intelligent mobility. It thus proposes a reflection on the strategies to be adopted to meet the challenges of urban mobility in Morocco by 2030, considering economic, environmental, and social requirements.
