Streets and roads and their role in the original Urban planning fez as an escample

Abstract

This scientific paper deals with an important aspect of the physical planning of the authentic Moroccan city, and it is related to the study of streets and roads as lifelines and ensuring communication between the components of the original urban field. On the other hand, with the classification of its scales according to their importance and the flows of movement in them, they varied between the public road, the private public, up to the non-exhaustible private. This planning left a margin of freedom for those who watched the application of the material concept and in line with the natural political and security conditions of the city. This planning truly responds to the basic needs of society in complete agreement with the means of transportation available to you, which is what some orientalists have used to criticize the planning of the streets of Islamic cities in general. For these considerations, we chose to delve into the subject in the hope of eliciting some of the sensual aesthetic values that characterized our authentic cities and integrating them into the planning of the streets of our current cities in the coming field studies of the Moroccan city in general and Fez in particular.
