Design and Architectural Guidelines (Applied Reference Guide) – Volume 1

The first part of the guide sets out the urban development controls and architectural and design guidelines for the area extending between Al Urubah Road and the Northern Ring Road within Riyadh’s central commercial artery. It also provides a regulatory and design framework for shaping a high-density, mixed-use urban environment that is pedestrian-friendly and connected to the public transport network, contributing to improved public realm quality, reinforcing Riyadh’s architectural identity, supporting climate-responsive design, and promoting integrated and sustainable urban development.
