1. Jeddah without Slums Program (JWSP)

The JWSP program, which was established in 2007 by royal decree, is aimed at reclaiming unplanned settlements in the city. The results of a survey conducted by the Jeddah Municipality and released in 2007 indicated that there were three categories of buildings in unplanned settlements: those that need to be maintained, refurbished, or reclaimed. The Jeddah Municipality announced that 476,000 people (approximately 151,600 households) would need to be relocated from unplanned settlements because of dangerous housing conditions [9].
