Morocco is a unitary semi-constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. It has a land area of 446,300 km2 (172,300 sq mi) with an estimated population of roughly 37 million. It  is divided into 12 regions, which, in turn, are subdivided into 62 provinces and 13 prefectures. With 60 percent of Moroccans living in urban areas, improving urban mobility is a key priority for the government. Demand for urban mobility in Morocco’s main primary and secondary cities has sharply increased in the last decades.
