Vision

The Green Riyadh project will contribute to increasing the per capita share of green space, and raise the total green spaces by planting trees around all city features and facilities as well as in all its provinces. All of the greenings will be watered by recycled water from an irrigation network. The greening initiative will lead to improved air quality and reduced temperatures in the city. As a consequence, this project will encourage Riyadh citizens to follow a healthy lifestyle which is part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

Green Riyadh project is one of the most ambitious urban forestation projects in the world. It is one of Riyadh’s Four Megaprojects launched by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, on 19 March 2019. The project will be a milestone that contributes to fulfilling a key goal of the Saudi Vision 2030 to promote Riyadh’s position among the world’s top 100 most livable cities.

Improving the quality of life.

Through the greening of the city, the objectives of this development serve the common challenges of many metropolises in the world: improving the quality of life, the environment, sport and leisure development, health and wellbeing, safety, participation and economic value creation.

The greening initiative will in particular reduce CO2 emissions and temperatures in the city. In addition, the project will encourage the citizens of Riyadh to adopt a healthy lifestyle, which is part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

This project aims to make Riyadh one of the most liveable cities in the world.

As one of the largest urban greening projects in the world, Green Riyadh is fully involved in the diversity of green spaces in the Saudi capital with more than 10 million trees planted.

The greening initiative will in particular reduce CO2 emissions and temperatures in the city.
