DOI: 10.1080/00420989020080691 © 1990 Urban Studies Journal Limited Implications of Subdivision Activity for the Urban Growth of MadinaDepartment of Urban and Regional Planning, King Abdulaziz University, PO Box 9027, Jeddah-21413, Saudi Arabia The purpose of this article is to analyse the implications of land subdivision activity for the urban growth of Madina. The city of Madina is one of the large cities of Saudi Arabia. Land subdivision is considered the main process by which rural land is converted to urban land. Land has been subdivided with diminutive reference to any rate of development or occupancy, which has resulted in an enormous proportion of the subdivided plots remaining vacant. This article aims to address the issues concerned with subdivision activity in relation to the urban growth of Madina, and to outline public response to these issues, which aims at extending more control over the process of land development.
