1 CITERES - Cités, Territoires, Environnement et Sociétés

Mostly known for its old city—which has been listed as a UNESCO world heritage site since 1986—Yemen’s capital has witnessed unprecedented urbanization trends over recent decades that have restructured the city along territorial and social lines. Little is known about the organization of Yemen’s capital, apart from its old city center, its history, souqs, traditional tower-shaped houses, and ancient buildings like its Grande Mosque—built, it is said, during the life of the Prophet.
