Jeddah 2011

Jeddah became famous for the seasonal floods, which destroy and interrupt the way of life.. Losses are massive, while no serious attempts are observed to rectify the situation.. Preparedness efforts should not be empowering civil defense, enhancing communications, or provide insurance coverage.. I believe the whole thing is related to bad urban planning and design..


What happened in Jeddah is not only a stigma to all Arab Engineers, City builders and civic Administrators, but a big question mark on the deformed way of thinking, compliances and governance..
How Arabs would dream of a future, if the present is totally out of any controls..??

This is not the 1st time in Jeddah, or KSA.. The corruption within the civic service is beyond believe.. Lots of moneys which covers the mistaken endeavors by redo’s.. Questioned ill-procurement of consultants and contractors.. Disqualified technical staff to run conformity of infrastructure.. Incompetent staff to manage operations and necessary improvements and modifications.. Failed organization to integrate the various departments.. and lastly, general mode of accessory and cover-up despite the cries from the hurt, short-handed and disappointed people..

Jeddah 2011 is the interpretation of a vast country and diverse population with more than 50% as youth.. who are certainly ready to be deployed to change the ugly face of a wonderful city..

It is the Arab consensus..

Pitty..
