520 _aOn February 29, 1960, a catastrophic earthquake devastated the Moroccan coastal city of Agadir, erasing it almost entirely and killing a third of its population. The world was shocked, and very quickly large amounts of international aid arrived.

A new and unprecedented process of urban construction was developed that allowed many architects-national and international-to simultaneously design the new city.
