REVIVING JEDDAH’S FOOD BASKET AGRICULTURE & NATURAL RESERVE
PROJECT TYPE STUDIO VI LOCATION YEAR AREA
Urban Design Urban Design Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 2018 342 KM2 I 21% of Jeddah's Area
The opportunities within the area lie predominantly in the large tracts of empty land and the proximity to Wadi Fatima, the largest wadi in Jeddah with significant aquifers and the great agricultural potential. The fact that the majority of the women in the unplanned settlements are unemployed or underemployed allows for a readily available workforce to exploit the agricultural potential of the area. Jeddah imports over 90% of its food stuff particularly vegetables and fruits, this increases the city’s vulnerability in light of climate change and global food shortages that will be witnessed in the coming years.
