Rabat, model city of green cities
Renowned to be a green conglomeration, Rabat, which was chosen by the American association Earth Day Network, as " first city " for the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Day of the Earth, consolidates its vocation by valuing its urban and outer-urban green spaces.
With the next reopening of the garden of botanical tries, Rabat, which will be declared first green city of Morocco, digs more the distance with the other cities of the Kingdom in environmental protection and in development of the green spaces.
Rabat which is strewed by not less than 260 ha with urban and outer-urban green spaces and a 1.063 ha covering green belt, seems well provided as regards most of the other cities of the kingdom which, in the absence of environmental policy, undergo at the moment the repercussions of a galloping urbanization.
