MARIB-SABA
As much as 30% of the urban planning for the provincial capital of Marib has been adopted and entered into enforcement, the director of Public Works Ministry office said.

In a statement to Saba, Abdulwadood al-Madhhaji said that as constructions in the eastern Yemen city began to swell in recent years, the local authorities sought to direct real estate investments towards the urban residential cities.

"The urban plan prepared by experts under high-level governmental supervision is meant to set up an urban capital for the province with the predicted changes and smooth delivery of services to the public in mind."

As of 2015 the government-held city has received tens of thousands of people fleeing the Houthi militia's crackdown and ever since, investments in real estate are seeing a steady boom.
