Marrakech Urban Planning Police: New Crackdown on Construction Violations
The city of Marrakech has intensified the deployment of its “Urban Planning Police,” an immediate construction-site control system. This mechanism aims to eradicate urban-planning violations and preserve the aesthetic appeal of the urban landscape.
Established through a strategic partnership agreement signed on 17 December 2025, this mechanism relies on close coordination between the prefecture, the municipality and the Marrakech Urban Agency. This participatory approach unifies institutional efforts to ensure rigorous and coordinated management of land-use planning.

The system relies on immediate vigilance through regular field inspections. When a violation is identified, the competent authorities immediately initiate legal proceedings, including the systematic demolition of non-compliant structures to prevent any worsening of the breaches observed at construction sites.
This firm strategy has had a deterrent effect, resulting in a decline in the rate of violations recorded in the city. Authorities report greater awareness among property developers and citizens, who are now more conscious of the importance of strictly complying with the laws governing urban planning.
