<A foreign specialist and expert developed a roadmap for building and planning cities and tourist destinations based on the “bottom-up” planning theory; starting from the house or that can accommodate six people, then there are so-called residential units that include 16 residential units, then from these units are formed what is known as gatherings, which include several units of buildings that have multiple uses, including hotels, and that pass through them by roads that are dedicated and equipped for access to these units. He added that these gatherings form what is known as the ”neighborhood level” and consists of 6 communities or communities with a population of 6,000 people and includes schools, hospitals, commercial centers and wide walking areas, and then on a larger level, a level that includes 25,000 people and includes larger and higher facilities until we reach the “county level” and includes 6 neighboring communities with a population of more than 60,000 people.

In a workshop entitled “Planning for Cities and Tourist Destinations” held at the Saudi Travel and Tourism Investment Forum 2016, John Hill Repperson, an expert in the field of planning, called for a return to the past to the Saudi identity, culture and ancient heritage and be the basis and fulcrum in the establishment of new communities, even if they have tourism and commercial uses.

Riperson referred to the traditional design of old heritage cities, explaining that it is possible to deal with, develop and develop them, especially since they have designs that are resistant to dust, wind and storms, and commercial centers, facilities and services can be attached, and roads can be prepared for goods to reach them, which is a comprehensive development of them.
