Relocation & migration of residents in Old Jeddah (1 jan 1950 ano – 1 jan 1955 ano)
Descrição:
Extended Saudi families and long established Yemeni, Indian and East Asia trading families inhabited the old city houses. Following Jeddah’s spectacular growth prompted by increasing pilgrims and oil revenues, the local residents left their traditional abodes to move to newly built suburbs. The old city houses are now mainly
(over)-occupied by a high proportion of single, male foreign workers who rent a room.
