Quartier Habous is a neighbourhood of Casablanca erected between 1918 and 1955 to deal with the arrival of many migrants who came from all corners of Morocco , especially the traders from the city of Fez .
The Habous district develops during the French protectorate, mainly from 1920 to 1930 to accommodate several merchant families from various regions of Morocco, including the city of Fez. This migration is caused by the policy of Marshal Lyautey who wishes to separate the residential areas of the Europeans and those Moroccans .
The name "Endowments" refers to the traditional religious assembly that organizes the allocation of housing in the medina.
The plans of the district are designed from 1917 by Albert Laprade , Deputy Henri Prost , then by Auguste Cadet and Edmond Brion .
The Habous is a unique example of reconstruction of Medina where, while respecting the style and traditional habits, the French architects, including Henri Prost , have complied with the rules of modern town planning.
This area is now home to many artisans and especially booksellers
Naples (Italian: Napoli, Neapolitan: Napule; Latin: Neapolis; Ancient Greek: "new city") is the capital of the Italian region Campania and the third-largest municipality in Italy, after Rome and Milan. As of 2012, around 960,000 people live within the city's administrative limits. The Naples urban area has a population of between 3 million and 3.7 million, and is the 9th-most populous urban area in the European Union. Around 4 million people live in the Naples metropolitan area, one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea.
Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Bronze Age Greek settlements were established in the Naples area in the second millennium BC. A larger colony – initially known as Parthenope, developed on the Island of Megaride around the ninth century BC, at the end of the Greek Dark Ages.The city was refounded as Neápolis in the sixth century BC and became a lynchpin of Magna Graecia, playing a key role in the merging of Greek culture into Roman society and eventually becoming a cultural centre of the Roman Republic. Naples remained influential after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, serving as the capital city of the Kingdom of Naples between 1282 and 1816. Thereafter, in union with Sicily, it became the capital of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861. During the Neapolitan War of 1815, Naples strongly promoted Italian unification.
