The exhibition plans to attract 40 million visitors
Saudi has unveiled the Riyadh Expo 2030 masterplan. The countdown to 2030 is on.
The grand plans were revealed in June 2023 at an official reception hosted by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City in Paris with 179 member states of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) in attendance.
Riyadh Expo 2030 will have the theme of “Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow”, and the expo site will be near King Salman International Airport.
There will be over 226 exhibition pavilions and the giga-events aims to attract 40 million visitors.
The pavilions will be spherical in shape with an equator line reflecting the ancient urban style, history and culture of the capital.
Each pavilions location for participating countries will be based on their longitudes, further highlighting the Kingdom’s determination to aid in global cooperation.
The expo will have shaded corridors as well as a modern green oasis within one of the tributaries of Wadi As Sulai.
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.
