Morocco’s tallest skyscrapers from Twin Center to Mohammed VI Tower

I understand the desire to modernize, but I strongly disapprove of projects like the Mohammed VI Tower. Its excessive and imported aesthetic clashes with Morocco's architectural identity and risks erasing the unique character of Rabat and Salé. Constructing dizzying monuments of glass and steel as symbols of progress too often prioritizes spectacle at the expense of local needs: housing, preservation of cultural heritage, and sustainable urban planning. If new developments are to be undertaken, they must respect vernacular architecture, utilize local materials and expertise, and be designed in consultation with communities in order to complement, not replace, Moroccan heritage.

I completely agree with your perspective. It's crucial that new developments honor Morocco's rich architectural heritage and prioritize community needs. Sustainable urban planning should always come first.
