1 janv. 1965 - Regional & City planning is setup

Description:

In the late 1960's the Saudi government set up, with help from the United Nations, regional and city planning studies throughout the country. Each city had an approved master plan, geared to the national Five-Year Plan. In the case of Jiddah, the city managers had to cope with an explosive growth rate of about 16 per-cent a year, one of the highest in the world.
