The current situation of certain old buildings and monuments calls on the services concerned to commit themselves more to reconciling Mohammedia with its history by valuing its heritage wealth, which makes its originality and strength. The safeguarding of the rich heritage of the seaside city must benefit the inhabitants, visitors, and the sites themselves. Hence the need for concrete actions to revalue the city's wealth. The goal is the sustainability of the city's memory. It is therefore in the face of the degradation of heritage wealth and in a spirit of responsibility that the city's actors must play the citizen card for the influence of Mohammedia and the safeguarding of its emblematic buildings. The old water tower of Mohammedia located in the Belle Vue district was designed by Eduardo Torroja y Miret. This monument, which overlooks the city, was put into service in 1956 to supply homes with water. The hyperbolic-shaped reservoir tank has a diameter of 40 metres at the top and 18 metres at the base with a capacity of 3,500 m3. This spherical dome-shaped reservoir and a double-dome cover slab have been out of service since 1990. No action has been planned for the rehabilitation of this heritage, which remains exposed to the vagaries of time.

The Fedala Casino, another link with history that continues to deteriorate, an emblematic building built in 1933 in wood then renovated twice in 1960 and 1970, the work of architect Albert Planque, author of many old buildings in Mohammedia, the old casino had hosted many artistic events and great names of Moroccan, Arab, English, French, and American song performed there. An adapted rehabilitation, underlines this singer-songwriter, would give this building a dimension and grandeur. I do not understand why Mohammedia, with all its glorious past and its enormous potential, is selling off its heritage wealth. The old casino could become, and why not, a magnificent congress palace. What is missing is the will; where there is a will, they say, there is a way. Very close to the casino, the Miramar, another mythical place built in 1928, employed 156 people; it attracted visitors from all over the world and was renowned for its cuisine, its welcome, and its services. It was also closed in 1995. Mohammedia has many old districts threatened by accelerated urbanisation, notably the fishermen's city, the Art Deco style staff housing, Diour Lakram, Diour Nicolas, Diour Butagaz, Diour la Falaise. These vestiges of the era need special attention to safeguard and protect them from the greed of speculators, some of whom have taken hold of well-located places for real estate projects to the detriment of preserving the city's memory. The magnificent residence nicknamed "Palais Murat", located in the La Colline district, was built in 1929 by Prince Charles Murat and his wife Princess Stuyvesant in an Arab-Moorish style, another link with history that risks disappearing. The bridge built by the Portuguese and the Blondin bridge were destroyed and replaced by new bridges more resistant to the pressure of current motorway traffic. The Fedala brickworks, one of the first companies in the city, was created in 1912, specialising in the manufacture of bricks and tiles from the clay of Oued El Maleh, and has been closed for many years. The old Mohammedia station, built in 1930, was demolished, although it had been renovated twice. Logic would have dictated that an extension be carried out rather than the demolition of a heritage site.

So much heritage wealth to save, which will bring a breath of fresh air to a city that strives to preserve its history, its memory, and its identity.

Faced with changes, public authorities, elected officials, associations, and the university are called upon to play their role fully, that of actively participating in the safeguarding of old buildings and structures in degradation. This heritage is the legacy of time, it is its living memory; the conservation of this memory passes through the rehabilitation of these places charged with history, a rehabilitation that must not ignore this legacy.
