On the occasion of the 38th National Day of the Architect, Morocco’s Urban Planning Minister Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri on Saturday emphasized architects’ pivotal role in ensuring security, renewal, and preservation of the country’s cultural heritage.
In a speech read on her behalf in Marrakech by the Secretary General of the Ministry, the Minister of National Territorial Planning, Urban Planning, Housing, and City Policy highlighted the support and national solidarity demonstrated by architects during the earthquake on September 8.
In this respect, the Moroccan official commended architects’ on-the-ground mobilization and assistance to local authorities in adopting appropriate approaches.
“This mobilization showcased the resilience and intrinsic solidarity of professionals to collectively rebuild,” she continued, emphasizing the need to chart a course towards sustainable reconstruction.
She called for a vision where post-seismic architecture harmoniously embodies the imperatives of resilience and safety while respecting the essence and history of places and communities.
In this context, she noted that the National Day of the Architect is an opportunity to pay tribute to this profession, to the expertise of architects, to their creativity, and to their commitment to serving society and the nation.
