Berkane Inspires UNDP: A Promising Partnership for Smart Urban Management
Imagine a world where every street, every building, every urban system works in harmony to create a sustainable and intelligent environment. This is the direction in which the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Local Development Company (SDL) Majal Berkane are heading. In a context where increasing urbanization poses major challenges, their partnership offers a ray of hope.
The UNDP and Majal Berkane SDL are joining forces to develop smart and sustainable cities, starting with Berkane and extending these projects to other cities. This collaboration capitalizes on Majal Berkane SDL's expertise in key areas such as waste management, energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility. The goal is clear: to leverage local knowledge and skills to strengthen the capacities of authorities and partners, whether from the public or private sector, beyond Moroccan borders.
One of the key strengths of this partnership is the use of advanced technologies such as Digital Twin, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Things. Together, UNDP and Majal Berkane SDL aim to integrate these essential tools into the urban fabric, paving the way for innovative solutions to contemporary urban challenges. At the heart of this collaboration lies a continuous exchange of best practices among different cities involved in smart city projects, with the aim of creating smarter and more resilient cities.
This collaboration perfectly aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to create inclusive, environmentally friendly cities conducive to a better future for all. This futuristic vision is realized through a recent Memorandum of Understanding signed between UNDP and Majal Berkane SDL.
