The Safi council is sounding the alarm over a potential significant increase in population, comparable to the size of a village, if a particular development project moves forward. While specific details about the development are scarce, the council’s warning underscores concerns about managing growth and ensuring infrastructure can support new residents.
Safi, a city in Morocco, has seen steady population growth, reaching an estimated 346,096 people in 2025, up from 51,881 in 1950. The council’s concerns likely stem from the strain such rapid growth could place on local resources and services.
