Description

Abstract (English)

Since the early 1980s, the territory adjacent to the city of El Jadida has been home to a specialized mineral port, accompanied by industrial and service activities backed by both national and foreign capital. This complex generated a marked economic and social dynamism, bringing about significant spatial mutations. It profoundly shaped the transformation trajectory of this area, which experienced notable urban development driven by demographic growth closely linked to the expansion of the active workforce employed within the industrial enterprises of the Jorf Lasfar complex.
This article seeks to grasp the scale of this economic dynamism and to assess its contribution to promoting development at the local, regional and national levels, while analysing its socio-spatial repercussions on the city of El Jadida and its immediate surroundings. The reflection rests on an integrated systemic approach and on field studies aimed at identifying the various mechanisms that govern it and at capturing its underlying operational logics.
Keywords: Economic development – Economic dynamism – Socio-spatial transformations – The territory adjacent to the city of El Jadida
