The stated objective is to "paint a comprehensive portrait of a city undergoing radical transformation", going beyond the simple framework of an ephemeral tourist destination.

M6’s cameras captured the Salé marina, Hassan Tower esplanade, and especially the Grand Theatre designed by the late Zaha Hadid. The latter stands as a major cultural achievement. In this same dynamic, Mohammed VI Tower was filmed as the ultimate symbol of urban renewal, reflecting a development vision based on innovation and economic competitiveness.
