# Habous Quarter (New Medina)

Casablanca, Morocco

A planned new medina begun under the French from 1918, blending Neo-Moorish design with orderly arcades. Carved-plaster shopfronts line lanes full of olives, bookshops, and craftsmen, a living quarter that doubles as Casablanca's cultural and religious centre.
