Four times, between 2021 and 2024, I document four learning experiences in the form of workshops, led by urban planning students from the Institut d’Urbanisme d’Aix en Provence. In the first episode, the students work on the rehabilitation of two public squares in Marseille. In the second episode, these same students work in collaboration with student architects from the Rabat National School of Architecture on the rehabilitation of a district of Salé, in Morocco. In a third episode, urban planning students work on the use of rooftops of the Tunis Medina, in Tunisia. In the last episode, these same students, again in collaboration with student architects from the Rabat National School of Architecture, work on a gender approach to public space in the Moulay Ismaïl district, in Salé.
4th episode
For ten days in november 2023, some students of the master 2 « Transition of metropolises and cooperation in the Mediterranean » of Aix-Marseille University with some students of the “Accessible city” seminar of the School Nationale d’Architecture de Rabat, reflected on a more inclusive city as part of a workshop in the Moulay Ismail district of Salé in Morocco. Resulting from 10 days of immersion in the field, it gives a voice to the inhabitants of a working-class neighborhood in Salé, while recounting the approach undertaken by a group of students in urban planning and architecture. This film is the fourth in a series devoted to the different facets of the inclusive city, an object of study and reflection by students of the two schools to think differently about the urban fabric.

3rd episode
In may 2023, fifteen students from the Masters program “The transition of metropolises and cooperation in the Mediterranean” in the Institute of Urbanism of Aix-en-Provence responded to an order from the Marseille collective “the roofs are ours”, of Wetopia and the “Art rue” association which invited them to observe the rooftops of the Tunis Medina, to draw inspiration from current uses and to think about what could spread in Marseille.
