“A catalyst for the development of surrounding areas with positive social impact” – Holcim Awards Jury

  • 1 / 1

    Project entry 2011 - Urban precinct reconstruction and rehabilitation, Fez, Morocco: Entrance to the Medina.

The jury recognizes that the transformation of this unique yet particularly neglected site on the banks of Fez River will not only contribute to the built environment but will also improve the poor labor and economic conditions of the native copperplate and leatherworks artisans that dominate the site. It is expected that the improvement of this site will become a catalyst for the development of surrounding areas with positive social impact that will not end at the site’s boundaries.
