And it was already a super easy city to live in. The train station is new with a food court, there is a tram that runs through the city, the buses are new and don't spew black smoke everywhere, there's a new bridge to Sale, and a whole new area of development by the shore. It still retains all it's charm- super walkable streets, clean public spaces, quick and cheap transpo, and the occasional protest in front of parliament.
We stayed in a Riad in the old city (which to the best of my knowledge is a pretty new thing as well). It was perfectly lovely-- zelige walls, a grand courtyard with a fountain, big drapes and carved wooden doors, a classic Moroccan home except with the fantastic additions of WiFi and heating :)
I'd honestly say after New York, Rabat would be my #2.
