Abstract: In the face of the rapid expansion of globalization, the territory is no longer seen as just a geographical space; it has become a key player in development. In this context, the Moroccan state has found it necessary to reconsider its centralized approach to territorial management, which was in place until the 2000s. This approach has shown its limitations and has only increased territorial disparities.This article explores the issue of territorial action through the lens of strategic territory management, favoring bottom-up development. It provides a theoretical overview of the research, tracing the history of territorial action in Morocco, and presenting the foundations of the territorial project. The analysis highlights the contribution of strategic management as a new configuration of territorial action and governance as a tool for collective decision-making. A qualitativemethod, based on in-depth document analysis and participation in conferences, was adopted for data collection. The results revealed the state's commitment to a policy of strategic territory management to grant autonomy to territories. However, this commitment remains limited, in a learning phase, and partially dependent on central policies
