Rabat [Morocco], October 9: How do you rebuild and earthquake-proof a centuries-old Moroccan mountain village, at speed, without sacrificing its traditional architecture? That's a key challenge facing the reconstruction of the country's isolated "douars" (or villages), which were devastated by a strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake last month. The September 8 quake, which killed around 3,000 people and injured 5,600, according to the latest official figures, damaged about 60,000 homes across 3,000 villages in the High Atlas mountains and their surroundings.
