Over the past decade, the
Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia has witnessed on going streams of development in all urban sectors. Jeddah, as one of the cities with a most blessed extended infrastructure expansion program covered by its public utility networks and services has such an accelerated urban development, a yardstick is required to measure its impact on all levels of the society. Through its observatory, we will be able to evaluate its development and direct its progress based on well-studied policies. Such an approach represents a dependable and effective tool that will aid
urban development decision- makers with the needed essential indicators for all aspects of urban development.
