| Résumé anglais |
This contribution focuses on an aspect of town planning and development carried out in Casablanca under the leadership of General Lyautey and the architect Prost, using the example of the boulevard de la Gare (today Mohammed V avenue). This enables us to demonstrate that the urban reform carried out by the Protectorate to structure the city was also undertaken on behalf of private interests (for wich Lyautey had little interest), using their own "speculative techniques" in order to "manipulate" them better. The analysis of this public/private dialectic, cleverly negociated, enables us, by looking at these actors, to consider the question of the setting up of new public spaces. In particular, this is done in relation to the urban layout and the creation of new public highways which, at the same time, conform and contrast with the preexisting urban area.
