Residential District

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (1988)

Large districts for private housing have been developed in Riyadh as in most cities of Saudi Arabia with the help of authorities : free lots given to the dwellers, long loans for the future owners, grants for the construction. It's a typical Welfare State policy. Houses are large, with small space devoted to gardens, tall walls , high gates in order to protect the privacy of households.
