The program comes as part of DEWA's efforts to achieve comprehensive and sustainable urban development by implementing integrated development plans that take into account population and economic growth, and are in line with the objectives of modern development in the city, according to advanced urban standards that meet the needs of the present and aspirations for the future.

The "Developed Neighborhoods" program focuses on addressing urban challenges in unplanned neighborhoods by improving infrastructure networks and basic services, and organizing the urban fabric to provide a balanced and safe residential environment, while at the same time supporting economic growth opportunities and attracting real estate investments in Makkah.

In the framework of facilitating communication with owners, the Authority launched an electronic platform called "Mam", which allows property owners in targeted locations to easily register their requests, check the status of their properties through an interactive map, as well as submit compensation requests or inquiries directly electronically.

The program covers a number of vital locations within Makkah, including Ajyad Al-Sadd, Ajyad Al-Masafi, Al-Hajla, Jarhum North, Quoz Al-Nakasah, Al-Kadwah, Al-Khalidiya, and Al-Hindawiya in their various ranges. Most of these areas are characterized by their proximity to the Grand Mosque and within the scope of basic services, which enhances their real estate value and makes them eligible for the implementation of integrated development projects with high development and investment returns.
