The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has launched the ‘Path to Prosperity’ masterplan for the urban development of the central and southern regions of the ancient Saudi city AlUla.
This is the second masterplan from RCU, after the successful launch of ‘The Journey Through Time’ masterplan which was unveiled by HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, as part of the ambitious AlUla Development Programme, thus marking a new chapter in the legacy of AlUla historical region, which is the world’s largest living museum, said a statement from RCU.
Located 1,100km from Riyadh in north-west Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561sq km, includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years.
The Journey Through Time Masterplan is a complex and elegant urban planning solution using innovation to maintain a balance between nature, heritage, culture and sustainable development, while the Path to Prosperity is a blueprint for comprehensive development focused on enhancing the quality of life for the residents of AlUla, and it aims to sustainably regenerate the urban core of the county, it added.
