The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has unveiled the master plan for a 456-sq-km district in northeast Riyadh, thus marking a key milestone that reflects the Saudi capital's expansion trajectory and contributes to shaping its future urban growth.

The Northeast Riyadh Master Plan features a strategic location, connecting it to the capital's most prominent main arteries, which enhances accessibility and supports infrastructure integration and future urban development.

This key milestone reflects the capital's expansion trajectory and contributes to shaping its future urban growth, said RCRC in a statement.

It is based on long-term planning principles that take into account the regulation of land uses, the enhancement of natural spaces, and the harmonisation of housing, services and infrastructure, in order to support the city's balanced and sustainable expansion.

According to RCRC, it contributes to organising one of the capital's expansion trends, through a planning concept that takes into account the city's residential, economic, and environmental needs, and enhances its readiness for future growth within a balanced urban framework.

The master plan also supports the structured expansion of the capital through a dynamic planning vision that meets residential, economic and environmental priorities, ensuring readiness for future growth within a balanced urban framework, it stated.

Rooted in long term planning principles, the Master Plan sets the stage for future infrastructure, housing and commercial development. Its focus is on optimisation of land use, enhancement of natural environments and harmonisation of housing, services and infrastructure to drive balanced, sustainable urban growth, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
