Arrondissement de Hay Mohammadi مقاطعة الحي المحمدي

Hay Mohammadi or Hay Mohammedi (Arabic: الحي المحمدي) is a neighbourhood in eastern Casablanca, in the Aïn Sebaâ - Hay Mohammadi district of the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco. As of 2004 it had 156,501 inhabitants. The district was once home to North Africa's oldest and largest slum, formerly known as Carrières Centrales, which was largely demolished throughout the 2010s within the framework of the Moroccan government's 'Cities without Slums' (French: Villes sans bidonvilles; Arabic: مدن بلا صفيح).

The project has been criticized for its forced relocation into unsustainable debts and relocating city dwellers away from their work and social sphere.
