   Carried out by "Anouar Al Mostakbal" enterprise, the project is set to reduce the housing deficit in the province of Nouaceur with a view to give rise to new urban poles  and support the economic and demographic growth of the Grand Casablanca region.

  Concrete measures were adopted to to guarantee that the national low-cost housing program is carried out in best conditions, mainly the creation of a one-stop office at the urban commune of Casablanca, a priori study of the low-cost housing project, a commission of engineers, architects and real estate developers to look into projects and a technical control commission to follow and monitor equipment and construction works.
