Jeddah: 34 neighbourhoods to be razed for redevelopment
34 neighbourhoods in the city will be completely razed as part of the ongoing redevelopment plan as they are full of abandoned houses or slums, making entry into those areas difficult.
Detailed plans have been drawn up to develop these neighbourhoods and give ownership of buildings to citizens who had been residing there and do not own any other homes.
The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing has prepared 5,000 housing units for families who are beneficiaries of social security schemes and whose homes in slum areas have been dismantled.
