Abstract:
The city of Shubra Al-Khaimah includes 19 slums with an area of ​​180.38 acres, the population of 784,273 people, and the number of units reached 163,390 units.The informal areas of the city are divided into 5 districts in west district, with a total area of ​​approximately 884 acres, while the random districts of east district number 14, with a total area of ​​approximately 926 acres. Northern and eastern directions (currently open to growth), there are no obstacles to the growth of these slums, due to the availability of areas of neighboring agricultural lands and the lack of control over the properties and construction in these areas.There are three methods for dealing with and limiting slums, the most important of which is the development of popular participation, which requires spreading awareness first among the population according to their role to be played to make the best use of them.
