Spaceagency is excited to be part of the Riyadh Complete Communities initiative. As part of a larger design team including Aecom and Harry Dobbs, we are developing strategies to improve the public realm of 15 selected Riyadh neighborhoods to encourage walking, cycling, and public life. Streets function as the place for interaction and communication, transportation, social and commercial activities for the general public. Reclaiming streets for all users is an important objective of this initiative. Especially in cities that have been characterized as auto-dependent for decades, there is a need to reprioritize community development objectives for a more sustainable and livable environment.
