Sana'a is mentionned only in the beginning of J.-C. era. Situated in the heart of the high plateau and intramontane plains, Sana'a is surrounded by some prosperous rural villages. Small town (18 000 inh.) in 1939, its growing begins only after the civil war (1969) : 140 000 inhabitants in 1974 (31,7 % outborn). The activities are dominated by services (72,6 %), then by retailing : industrialisation is still petty (one big textil plant) but agriculture remains noticeable. Five types of quarters : to the East, the old arab city, residential, with the traditionnal «suk», caracterized by a famous architecture ; to the West, the ancient turk city, with gardens and to the extreme west the former « ghetto » now taudified. In the center, between the arab and the turk cities, a modern business quarter is growing ; residential suburbs appear to North and the South. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
