The role of Portuguese heritage in local development: Asilah and El Jadida (Morocco)

This text propose a dynamic interpretation of the “heritage phenomenon” which is involving the architectural and urban inheritances of the Portuguese presence inside the nowadays Morocco (1415-1769). This on going process integrates the heritage into a strategic (re)design of urban territories. The process is an inclusive one, which is concerning several scales, from a really local level to international and conceptual ones. 
The attention is focusing mainly the public spaces, because of their visibility and their roles into the landscape, and the landscape planning. At the same time, public spaces were submitted to less transformation than private ones; therefore they are the major spatial link to the Lusitanian presence. 
Portuguese heritage is nowadays a global player in the Moroccan process that’s updating to the 21st century the image of the Kingdom. The targets of this new image are the international public but also, and even more, the national one. 
Portuguese heritage in Morocco is a long lasting one but, at the same time, it is so old that we can say that’s a “past of the past”, completely disconnected to the nowadays identity and post-colonial issues; there are no direct links with their contemporary existence.
