Comment: Please do not submit multiple copies of drafts. It does not increase the likelihood that one of them will be accepted into article space, and annoys the reviewers. It is likely to be seen as an effort to game the system, and may result in the drafts being nominated for deletion. If you did not intend to create multiple copies of a draft, you may ask for advice at the Teahouse about submitting drafts for review. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:20, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

History
[edit]The administration of municipal affairs in Jeddah dates back to the late Ottoman period, when local services and public administration were supervised by officials responsible for maintaining public order and municipal functions. Over time, municipal administration evolved into a modern local government authority responsible for urban planning, infrastructure development, environmental services, and public facilities.[4]
In the modern era, Jeddah Municipality has played a significant role in the expansion and development of the city through infrastructure projects, public service initiatives, and waterfront development programs.[5]
