CHAPTER XVIII.

B. ARAB AREAS.

48. Urban areas. The Central Advisory Committee on Housing appointed in 1944 by the Controller of Heavy Industries delegated the task of collecting data regarding the housing conditions of Arab urban population to a sub-committee under the chairmanship of Mr. W. L. A. Watson, City Engineer of Haifa. This sub-committee compiled its information by means of questionnaires circulated to twenty-four urban areas containing an aggregate population of 421,660 persons. Table 11 contains a summary of the information obtained by the questionnaire and shows the present state of congestion expressed in terms of the number of room units required to reduce the density to an average of 2 persons per room.
