Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Residents of Dakhla, a city in Western Sahara, are witnessing widespread infrastructure improvements and the development of new public spaces.
Ten years ago, the city looked different, but now crews are widening streets, rebuilding roundabouts, and installing new water, electricity, and sanitation systems throughout multiple neighborhoods. Alongside these underground improvements, workers are also focusing on above-ground changes. They are redesigning and landscaping roundabouts, adding green spaces, and building local sports facilities in residential areas.
A nearly 12 kilometer coastal road is under construction between Foum El Bouir beach and the Lassarga fishing area, connecting points along the coast and improving access to nearby locations. Abdeljalil Assadi, representing a local community association, noted that the current work extends beyond Dakhla’s main roads, reaching into neighborhoods. Residents also observe that the changes go beyond infrastructure, with new public squares and sports facilities appearing throughout the city.
The new irrigation systems connected to green spaces are designed to reduce water consumption.
