As part of efforts to enhance community participation and improve the urban environment, the Riyadh Municipality launched an initiative to engage residents in selecting the engineering designs for several of its projects.

Within this framework, the Al-Dawadmi Municipality launched the “City Street Rehabilitation Initiative – Old Market” under the slogan “Developing It with Our Own Hands.”
The initiative aims to develop the city’s vital streets with the active participation of residents and relevant stakeholders. This step comes as part of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to strengthen community involvement in the development and improvement of public facilities.
