In Saudi Arabia, the User’s Choice District Prize for the Green Riyadh Project
The User’s Choice District Prize honors the Green Riyadh project, which aims to transform the capital city of Saudi Arabia into a more sustainable and environmentally friendly metropolis by planting 7.5 million trees throughout parks, gardens, streets, and highways. This ambitious project will improve air quality, lowers urban temperatures, and contribute to a better quality of life for populations.
