It is wonderful to see Saudi Arabia not only participating in the one-day event, but working on a long term plan to actually help save the environment and control the climate change.
We can’t wait to see Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh turn into a green oasis, with what the kingdom says will be the largest urban park in the entire world.
The project is expected to increase the amount of green space in the capital 16-fold, when implemented. It will also include Art Riyadh, a district that including museums, theaters, exhibitions, cinemas and art academies.
The project is presented by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and it comes as part of the Saudi Vision 2030, that aims to bring life to the city and develop the lifestyle of its residents.
