The twentieth-century arrival on this list, almost entirely post-war and very much a port city's portfolio: a Football bench north of two times global, a Singer and Film cluster that tracks Morocco's Francophone entertainment pipeline, and a Journalist bench that reads as the quiet signature of a newspaper town. The Boxer roster, running at nearly five times baseline, gives the whole thing its particular Casablanca swagger.
