SDG11 Report: Sustainable Cities and
Communities
City of Fez: sustainable heritage of Humanity
The choice to set up the
Euromed University in the
city of Fez is not fortuitous.
The cultural and historical
dimension of this city of more
than twelve centuries, which
hosts one of the oldest
universities in the world; the
Quaraouiyne, embodies all
the traditional values of
human open ness and cultural
symbiosis of Morocco, based
on the mutual respect and
influence of the differences in
culture and civilization of the
region. |
1 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | region.
Its medina, classified since 1980 as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, is first and foremost a
living museum of art and culture, where several creative activities coexist harmoniously,
representative of Moroccan craftsmanship in all its splendor. It is also a popular destination
for tourists in search of spirituality and a high place of pilgrimage, especially for African
visitors, because of the symbolism of the place, a space of knowledge and religion, conferred
on it by its medersas, its mosques and mausoleums. |
1 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | But beyond this fundamental cultural and historical aspect, Fez is also an essential economic
hub in the Moroccan development strategy. The geostrategic position of Fez on the
Moroccan motorway network, connecting Tangier to Agadir, from north to south, and
Casablanca to Oujda, from west to east, constitutes a nodal point in Morocco's logistics plan
and the construction of the Maghreb highway, to link Nouakchott (Mauritania) to Tobrouk
(Libya). |
2 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | 3 UEMF -community partnership
UEMF is a privileged partner of the Fès -Meknes regional council, the city of Fez and
the Regional Investment Council.
The University is also a partner with several rural communities and supervises
elected officials on sustainable development themes (training, student internships,
impact studies, etc.)
Institutional agreements have been signed since the installation of the UEMF

Sustainable cities
This is one of the themes of importance for the UEMF for which training courses as |
2 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | well as research work are devoted.
Training
EMADU (Euro -Mediterranean School of Architecture, Design and Urbanism)
EMADU is a co -creation between UEMF and the University of Florence with the involvement
of the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the National School of Decorative Arts (ENSAD
Paris). Its mission is to train Architects, Designers, Town Planners, Landscape Architects and
specialists in heritage conservation; in particular Euro -Mediterranean. The School provides
innovative training combining the skills of architect and engineer to train profiles capable of |
2 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | better contributing to the design and organization of the living space of the citizen of the
21st century, in compliance with standards quality and environment.
Architecture & Urban Planning
The urban dynamics and the economic and socio -spatial changes experienced by our region
require mastery of urban space for the creation of sustainable environments, widely open to
modernity, economic globalization, progress and human development;
Real estate programs and construction projects, more numerous, more complex, more |
2 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | diversified and require a qualified architectural project management in sufficient number;
The requirements of sustainable development and the taking into account of environmental
constraints, require an upgrade of architectural techniques respectful of the environment and
ecology (new design of buildings, new techniques to reduce the energy needs of buildings,
new materials,);
National programs for the rehabilitation of the architectural heritage and the safeguarding of |
2 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | historic monuments in Morocco and other countries in the Euro- Mediterranean area require
qualified specialists in sufficient numbers. |
3 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | 4 Master: Urbanism and its te rritories
Goal :
Work for the respect of heritage and the environment, difference and cultural
specificities and develop in the student awareness of the requirements of society,
individual and collective well-being;
Promote professional expertise in the field of town planning;
Disseminate knowledge and promote the quality of urban production ;

Electronic market for urban mobility for optimized trips (Mobility Online Market For
Optimized Trips) - Benmoussa & Bennouna
Project selected following a call for tenders (AL -KHAWARIZMI Program) launched by the
CNRST in partnership with the Digital Development Agency and with the ministries of
industry and higher education. Funding acquired 180,000 MAD
Project summary: The mechanisms that control mobility are about to be profoundly disrupted
by the intrusion of computing, telecommunicatio ns and, more recently, artificial intelligence |
7 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | (AI). These technological innovations will modify both transport needs and the means of meeting them, constituting a certain opportunity to resolve the difficulties that mar mobility.
The proposed AI applicati on will allow better management of traffic flows. Intelligent
transport will offer possibilities for optimization and will open up areas of choice that are
currently little studied and explored, in particular time delays and modal transfers in real time.
This will result in an increased elasticity of the particular demands which are expressed at a
given moment on a given axis. |
7 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | This research project in transport, sustainable mobility and urban logistics is being deployed in the city of Casablanca with the participation of 4 professors, 3 doctoral students and in partnership with professional organizations such as Casa Transport SA and MobilizeYourCity.

Expenses for the arts and heritage
The UEMF devotes more than 5% of its budget to expenses including:
operating expenses of libraries, galleries, exhibition spaces, theaters and spaces
open to the public
expenditure on musical resources (payment instruments for travel and music teachers, etc.) |
10 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | regular operating costs for arts and heritage buildings
Transportation
The UEMF encourages and subsidizes more sustainable travel (walking, cycling, carpooling, public transport (UEMF bus and public shuttles), motorbike, scooter or moped,
or electric vehicles). In particular, mission expenses are better reimbursed in the event of
carpooling.
The cam pus has priority pedestrian paths and cycle paths
Sustainable housing for students and employees.
UEMF has an agreement with a large property development group in Fez which enabled |
10 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | it to build the U Village student residence ( https://www.uvillage.ma/ ) who provides its
residents with a comfortable, warm, healthy, secure and environmentally friendly living
environment. Located in the heart of UEMF, U VILLAGE offers sustainable accommodation
adapted to students' needs and their budget.
Affordable housing for employees
Access to decent housing is by the Constitution of Morocco, a right which guarantees dignity
and participates in the social cohesion of citizens. Considered as such, the housing sector is |
10 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | essentially a social sector. In this sense, the Ministry of National Land Use Planning, Town
Planning, Housing and City Policy in 2010 initiated the social housing program at MAD
250,000.
For employees wishing to acquire sustainable housing with affordable prices, the same
developer has affordable housing in various districts of the city of Fez.
Construction standards (Note Eco -Campus UEMF - Polyprogramme January 2014 )
“The construction of the UEMF campus is firmly in line with the Union for the |
10 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | Mediterranean's exemplary policy in terms of sustainable development. The objective is
the creation of an eco -campus. In this context, four priorities have been set: • Site
integration, • Water and energy management, • Durability and ease of maintenance, •
Comfort and health.
The performance levels set also take into account the objectives of cost compliance and
flexibility. We can understand the concept of eco -campus as a place of sustainable
development combining these three environmental, economic and so cial criteria. Thus, |
10 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | apart from the heritage policy in terms of environmental performance, the eco -campus |
11 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | 12 also aims to develop social and economic orientations in accordance with sustainable
development, namely: • The research subjects developed, • The pot ential for transfer of
technology to be disseminated throughout the territory and to create jobs locally, •
Integration into surrounding neighborhoods (student life, shared facilities, jobs and
services), • The mix of populations, uses and activities.
For constructions, the focus is on low consumption or passive buildings while remaining
within comfort standards, for example with bioclimatic buildings that are very energy |
11 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | efficient and integrate renewable energies. For outdoor spaces, special attention is p aid:
• Limiting waterproofing (parking, roads), infiltration and storage of rainwater and runoff
on site (ditches, basins, drainage pavements). • Plantations (woody, shrub, lawn) where
water, phytosanitary treatment and fertilization needs are limited. • L ighting and
atmospheres. We are therefore approaching the criteria of the HQE approach, which makes it possible to define priorities in the environmental approach. "
Remote work |
11 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | Remote work
Unable to offer on -campus learning during periods of confinement, UEMF rushed to ensure
academic continuity through distance education. Digital platforms have been installed and
all courses have been provided as well as administrative work. Restricted movement on the
partially closed campus was authorized, taking all precautions rec ommended by medical
authorities. If the conferences were provided, it is clear that the work of laboratories requiring equipment, suffered despite the adjustments. |
11 | pdfs/uemf-sdg11-report-en.pdf | Remote work is however allowed in limited cases (post covid) pending the regulations
concern ing it because it is not governed by Moroccan law. Some texts have adapted to this
context of crisis, but remote work remains a mode of organization without its own legal
framework. |

ABSTRACT
Sustainable development as a holistic framework is a top priority in the global agenda.
Abundant literature tackles Sustainable Development. But in a context characterised by global threats,
such as the COVID -19 sanitation crisis, climate change and gaps in worldwide de -velopment,
Sustainable Development Goals appear more relevant than ever and achieving them is more urgent
than ever. To accelerate the path towards this obj ective, this policy pa -per advocates the need to |
2 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | implement a strategy, based on two pillars.
The paper defends the idea that it is of utmost importance to emphasise the need for a “nexus approach”
rooted in a “geography sensitive” and “multi -scalar” vision of Sustainable Development, for targeted
implementation at regional and local levels, particularly within the Euro -Mediterranean and African
region. Such an approach would also be a fundamental accelerator for regional integration, which
remains really we ak in this part of the World. Many indicators show that the present context offers a |
2 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | unique opportunity to adopt such an approach and, thereby, accelerate the pace towards reaching global
Sustainable Development Goals. The paper also highlights how, consid ering its geostrategic position
and its long -term commitment to Sustainable Development as an holistic framework, Morocco plays
a preeminent role in the implementation of such an approach.
Keywords
Sustainable development, SDGs, nexus approach, multi -scalar vision, Euro -Mediterranean and
African region, regional integration, COVID -19.

“Climate change is indeed running faster than we are, and we have the risk to see irreversible
damage that will not be possible to recover if we don’t act very, very quickly."1

1 INTRODUCTION
Sustainable development has gained significant importance within the global agenda over t he last
decade and is now a top priority. The worldwide COVID -19 |
3 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | sanitation crisis made it clear that Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) appear
more relevant than ever and achieving them is more urgent than ever.
Sustainable development can be portrayed as an “ intellectual pursuit ” which strives “ to make
sense of the interactions of three complex systems: the world economy, the global society, and
the Earth’s physical enviro nment ” (Sachs 2015).
The global architecture was reinforced in 2015 with the adoption by the United |
3 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | Nations of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a 2030 horizon and a strong impetus
for action ( Figure 1 ). The progress achieved to attain these aforementioned goals is being closely
and thoroughly monitored through a number of indicators measured on a yearly basis2.

The year 2015 was certainly a landmark year for multilateralism and international policy, with the
adoption of several major agreements:
- The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (March 2015).
- The Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development (July 2015).
- The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: Transforming our
World . The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 SDGs was adopted at |
4 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | the UN Sustainable Development Summit in New York in September 2015.
- The Paris Agreement on Climate Change (December 2015)3.
Nevertheless, in 2021, within the context of the COVID -19 pandemic, the accelerated pace
for the implementation of the SDGs seems to be an important pre -requisite for the recovery
of the global economy.
The interdependence between countries and continents is closer than ever and the need for
a global consolidated (and reformed) multilateral agenda is a necessity. |
4 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | So, the question today is: how can we achieve SDGs better and faster? To try to answer this
question, this policy paper advocates the possibility of adopting a new matrix combining two
key parameters:
- By using to its benefit the “accelerator e ffect” triggered by the COVID -19 crisis, the
Euro - Mediterranean -Africa region can resort to Sustainable Development as a
backbone for shaping a truly reinvented regional Agenda. Using an holistic
framework, Sustainable Development can leverage well-being, inclusive growth as |
4 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | well as job creation, thus facilitating regional integration.
The first part of the paper emphasises the multiple arguments building the case for an acceleration
of the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals in the Euro -Medit erranean and African
(EMA) region, by underlining the momentum constituted by:
• The existing institutional dynamics which provide a political framework for action.
• The scientific evidence exposing the growing vulnerabilities in the E
MA Region and, |
4 | pdfs/achieving-sustainable-development-goals-the-relevance-of-a-nexus-approach-in-the-euromediterranean-and-african-region_0.pdf | MA Region and,
• The socio -economic considerations with all the challenges (and opportunities) of the
post COVID -19 recovery schemes.

Research Institute for European, Mediterranean, and African Studies The aforementioned key arguments call for concerted and integrated action to be deployed by the
EMA Region.
According to the OECD & UNDP4, “the adoption of a regional approach is all the more important
as it allows SDG alignment which unlocks the resources, directs them towards needs, and builds
a more sustainable and inclusive economy, which protects against risks, builds resilience and
generates financial returns and economic growth.” |
