Values Of Sustainable Development Of (Vision Of KSA 2030 ) And The Application Of The Urban Design Of The Capital, Riyadh-KSA, Towards The Sustainable Energy

Abstract

Considering that the urban population will continue to grow and reach 68 percent of the world's total population by 2050, sustainable urbanization (SU) is currently a major concern for many cities worldwide, according to an estimate by UNDESA 2014. Riyadh has grown into one of the largest cities in the Gulf region. According to the General Statistics Office, the city's population is expected to grow from 7 million residents to 10 million by 2030. Urban designers are now faced with innovative environmental, cultural, physical and financial problems as a result of the rapid industrialization of the city and population growth, and new methods and processes are required to ensure the long-term sustainability of the city and its region. This study aims to determine the factors that inhibit or promote sustainable urbanization in Riyadh and suggest a framework for sustainable urbanization (SU) that can guide the subsequent development of the city. In the survey taken from the people of Riyadh, government and urban development officials, scientists and scholars were used to collect data. Poor cooperation among urban planners, low public awareness, archaic urban planning laws and regulations, environmental degradation (such as air quality and poor waste management), Growing population, property unaffordability and ethnic disparities impede sustainable development. These conclusions are supported by empirical data that can advise stakeholders on the constraints and possibilities for sustainable urbanization.
