Marrakech Set to Showcase Housing Initiatives in 2026
The vibrant city of Marrakech is preparing to host the 58th edition of the Housing and Francophonie Network (RHF) conference on May 8 and 9, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès. Organized under the auspices of the Ministry of National Land Planning, Urban Development, Housing, and City Policy, this significant event aims to solidify Morocco's role as a key international player in enhancing access to housing.
This conference emerges amidst a rapidly evolving national dynamic concerning urban and housing policies within Morocco, aligning perfectly with the royal directives aimed at promoting equitable access to decent housing, reducing regional disparities, and supporting sustainable urban development models. The conference will provide an opportunity to reaffirm the pivotal role of the 'Al Omrane' group as a public actor in implementing housing and urban policies, particularly through its contributions to national programs and the promotion of balanced urban development across various regions of the kingdom.
Furthermore, this event presents a unique opportunity to elevate Morocco's presence on the international stage concerning housing issues by showcasing key national achievements and programs led by the responsible ministry throughout the national territory. These initiatives are actively implemented by the public group, Al Omrane.
The conference program will include general sessions and specialized thematic workshops addressing a variety of topics. Central themes for discussion will revolve around the sustainability of affordable housing and its integration into public policies, as well as the role of technological innovation and sustainable materials in the construction sector. Additionally, the conference will explore urban governance's role in promoting spatial justice in housing, while also emphasizing the importance of sharing successful experiences within the Francophone space, particularly in the context of South-South cooperation—a strategy that has become increasingly vital.
