ABOUT 9TH FUTURE LANDSCAPE & PLAYSPACES KSA SUMMIT

Saudi Arabia leads the charge in urban transformation and sustainability, propelled by landscaping as a strategic Vision 2030 pillar. The 9th Future Landscape & Playspaces KSA Summit spotlights the Kingdom's shift to landscapes as critical infrastructure shaping climate resilience, investment value, and cultural identity amid giga-project acceleration.

From master-planned districts and mega-parks initiatives, Saudi’s green infrastructure redefines global city performance with nature-positive urbanism, water-sensitive designs, desert-adapted planting, and smart technologies—backed by Vision 2030's SAR 162 billion infrastructure investments and a landscaping market surging to USD 4 billion in 2026.

Join us at the 9th Future Landscape & Playspaces KSA Summit, taking place on 6 - 7 October 2026 in Riyadh, to explore nature as infrastructure smart sustainability, climate resilient desert designs, biodiversity at scale, heritage landscapes, and innovations in irrigation, soils, playgrounds, and eco-performance. See how architects, planners, developers, contractors, and policymakers embed ecological systems for measurable ROI positioning landscapes as performance assets for Saudi Arabia's post-2030 urban legacy.
