Morocco's urban landscape is continuously evolving, with the country's urbanization rate projected to reach 66 percent by 2024. This shift reflects a growing trend of Moroccans moving from rural areas to cities, transforming the nation's demographic makeup and presenting both opportunities and challenges for urban development and infrastructure. Population growth and urban centers As urbanization increases, Morocco's largest city, Casablanca, is expected to house approximately 3.22 million residents in 2024. This coastal metropolis serves as a prime example of the country's urban expansion. While the overall population growth rate has slowed to 1.02 percent annually, the total population is estimated to have reached 37.4 million by 2024. This combination of urbanization and population growth is reshaping Morocco's cityscapes and demanding innovative urban planning solutions. Demographic shifts and life expectancy The urbanization trend in Morocco coincides with other demographic changes. The fertility rate has decreased to 2.2 children per woman, indicating a shift in family structures and potentially influencing urban housing demands. Simultaneously, life expectancy has risen to 75.3 years, a remarkable increase of over three decades since 1960. These factors contribute to a changing urban population composition, with implications for healthcare, education, and social services in Morocco's growing cities.
