“Rural Migration : Effects on Moroccan cities”

The objective of this paper is to show how local officials and elected representants perceive the effects of rural migration on the the cities; the way this migration affects the cities, as well as to analyse their view about the new rural profile into the city and the dialectic between rural and urban. These ideas would be developped on the basis of a qualitative data that has been collected through focus groups held in many Moroccan rural and urban areas. The analysis of a Moroccan local elite would be largely privileged.
