Article · Deutsch

Ibb (auch Abb, arabisch إب) ist eine Großstadt im gleichnamigen Gouvernement Ibb im Südwesten des Jemen. Die Stadt ist bedeutendes regionales Einkaufszentrum. Nach Berechnungen aus dem Jahr 2012 zählt die Stadt über 330.000 Einwohner, 1994 sollen es noch etwa 100.000, 2003 bereits knapp 150.000 Bürger gewesen sein, die amtlich erfasst waren. Da die Handelsaktivitäten aufgrund rasanten Bevölkerungswachstums in die Neustadt ausgewichen sind, sind die Suqs der Altstadt in die Bedeutungslosigkeit versunken.
