Developed in collaboration with the Municipality of Riyadh, this ongoing strategic project sets out a comprehensive urban framework aimed at elevating the city’s public realm and neighborhood experience. The initiative translates Riyadh’s broader vision for sustainable growth into actionable design and planning principles that prioritize accessibility, comfort, and cultural continuity.
CDP International’s role encompasses the development of methodologies and design guidelines that integrate urban morphology, landscape strategy, and place-making principles to enhance the spatial coherence of Riyadh’s districts.
The framework emphasizes walkability, shading, and environmental performance, while reinforcing the city’s distinctive identity through contextual design and material authenticity.
Built upon participatory collaboration with municipal departments and key stakeholders, the project bridges policy and design, offering a scalable model for human-centered urban transformation. Once complete, it will serve as a reference for future development initiatives aimed at balancing modern growth with the social and cultural essence of Riyadh.
