In an unprecedented move, the Wali of the Fes-Meknes region has initiated the largest campaign to reclaim public property in the region’s history. The campaign began this morning in the Dahar Kheir district of Fes, starting with the demolition of several buildings and cafes that had been illegally constructed on public land, including a cafe that had been unlawfully exploiting public spaces.
This initiative is part of a well-planned strategy aimed at reorganizing public spaces. Similar campaigns have previously taken place in other areas such as Saïs, Al-Zohour, and Montfleuri, to reclaim sidewalks and streets from illegal exploitation.
The campaign has been met with widespread approval from residents, who view it as a new beginning to improve the city’s aesthetics and ensure pedestrian safety.
Urban environmental activists have called for these campaigns to be continuous, not seasonal, to prevent the return of these violations, which harm public order and disrupt traffic flow in the city.
It is expected that the campaign will target all violations of public spaces, in a bold move to recover public areas and achieve a balance between property rights and urban planning.
This reflects the authorities’ serious commitment to tackling all forms of illegal exploitation.
