1 ene 2008 año - Requalification of Al-Balad commercial and shopping area

Descripción:

The al-Balad district contains the greatest concentration of shops in the city. Intense commercial pressure and inadequate consideration for public space have, over a few
decades, led to a gradual change in the urban environment, with shop fronts poorly integrated into building architecture, intrusive signage and degraded street furniture, sidewalks and plantations. The restoration and requalification efforts of the municipal authorities in Jeddah have produced, within the overall campaign for the restoration of the old city, guidelines for
the design of the frontshops in collaboration with the French consulting team of École d’Avignon.
