PortCityFutures (PCF), PACT's sister network, are pleased to share the details of the upcoming 5-day international workshop “Creating a Vision for Port Cities: Morocco Edition”, from 1–5 December 2025 in Rabat, Morocco, with field visits to Rabat–Salé, Casablanca, Tangier City, and Tangier Med. 

 

The workshop is part of a growing international initiative, developed by the PortCityFutures network, to explore how port cities can navigate the intertwined challenges of economic transformation, environmental change, and social inclusion. It brings together professionals, researchers, and policymakers working across disciplines such as urban planning, heritage, environmental governance, and port development.

 

Participants will gain:
• Strategic tools for vision-building — including stakeholder mapping, scenario planning, and value-based approaches.
• An integrated perspective connecting spatial, economic, ecological, and cultural dimensions of port city development.
• Case-based insights from Moroccan port cities that resonate with global urban–maritime challenges.
• Rich networking opportunities with international experts, industry collaborators, and city practitioners.

 

The workshop is designed to foster collaboration between people and disciplines, creating a shared platform for learning and exchange between diverse actors shaping sustainable port city futures.

 

PCF would be delighted if you would consider joining the workshop and would also be very grateful if you could help circulate this invitation within your professional and academic networks to colleagues who might benefit from it.
