The Royal Commission for Riyadh City Announces the Completion of the Master Plan for Northeast Riyadh

the Royal Commission for Riyadh City has announced the completion of the preliminary master plan for the area located northeast of Riyadh, with a total area of approximately 456 square kilometers, located near King Khalid International Airport, Wadi Al-Sali, and the Dammam and Janadriyah highways.
The plan outlines a general vision for land use in the area and is based on a number of key principles, most notably the creation of a long-term urban model that allows for phased expansion, and the design of integrated communities that combine housing with daily services, along with a balanced distribution among residential, economic, recreational, and natural areas.

Expansion of Riyadh
The plan’s development is part of the long-term planning process for the expansion of Riyadh, which continues to experience urban, demographic, and economic growth as a capital undergoing rapid transformation. The plan helps guide one of the city’s future growth directions, in line with its current and future needs, with a focus on improving quality of life, enhancing green spaces, and preserving natural wadis within a balanced and cohesive planning framework.
His Excellency the Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, Engineer Ibrahim bin Mohammed Al-Sultan, expressed his gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City—may God protect them both—for the generous support and patronage extended to the city of Riyadh.

Developing the Capital to Keep Pace with Population Growth
He explained that the preliminary master plan for the area located northeast of Riyadh represents an important planning step in the capital’s development trajectory and reflects the Authority’s efforts to anticipate the city’s needs, organizing its expansion, and preparing long-term plans that keep pace with Riyadh’s growth.
The Authority emphasized that the master plan for northeast Riyadh represents an initial planning phase and is not an announcement of a new implementation project, as it will be followed by subsequent planning phases and the preparation of detailed plans for the various areas by the relevant authorities. Any subsequent updates will be announced through the Authority’s official channels and those of the relevant authorities.
