In 2010, a street vendor in Tunisia died after he set his body ablaze. Riots followed, leading to the outbreak of the Tunisian revolution, then to political unrest across the Arab world.

According to recent statistics, the number of vendors in the Grand Casablanca region amount to 128,000, which represents 10% of the total labor force in the region.

To prevent a tragedy similar to that in Tunisia, we offer this category of the population a means to exercise their profession durably and with dignity, conditions to get them out of social, hygienic and economic poverty.

Develop a modular, �lexible, scalable market...

Several vacant lots in the city of Casablanca can be recovered, and arranged to accommodate street vendors. Our project consists in the development of a daily temporary market, a sort of metabolic market that may change shape and appearance depending on the activity. Parti-cipatory Democracy, merchants will have to manage the market and ensure its maintenance as citizens. That can ensure the sustainability of the project.

Develop a prototype of �lexible market, repro-ducible across the city.

- Prepare spaces: paving, parking lots, and ease-ments.

- Develop a stand module allowing vendors to establish themselves in host platforms connec-ted to electricity and water supplies and sanita-tion

- Use of lightweight and robust materials to faci-litate maneuverability and portability.

- Make the market-versatile: market in the mor-ning and public square in the evening.

Propose a sustainable solution to the phenomenon of street vendors.

- Preserve all the urban landscape from visual imperfec-tions.

- Develop market sites and make them versatile.

- Organize street vendors in associations (participatory approach).

- Generalize the solution across the city of Casablanca.

- Provide a socio-economic solution

- Treatment of waste to avoid pollution.

- Establish formal jobs instead of the informal sector.
