A vital landmark will be built into the heart of the main plan consisting of 195 columns marking the number of participating countries.

We will be able to check out all of the pavilions easily as the exhibition site will be minutes away from the Riyadh Metro, and the network will connect three exhibition entrances.

The landmark will have three pavilions with subthemes including: Prosperity for All, Climate Action, and A Different Tomorrow.

With sustainability at its core, the expo will rely on clean resources powered by solar energy enabling zero carbon emissions.

The masterplan also highlights a future possibility of reusing the site to develop innovative urban models fostering innovation and creativity.
