Abstract EN

Housing supply and affordability are apparently the most critical problems facing urban areas in Yemen.

This paper examines urban housing from the perspective of supply and affordability in major Yemeni cities.

The methods used in this study include an extensive process of secondary and primary data collection and analysis.

The main finding of the study is that the housing problem in urban Yemen is not so much a matter of number of units, but one of housing unit suitability and affordability, difficulty in accessing housing units and a mismatch between supply and demand.
