Riyadh’s urban greening initiative is in full swing!<\/h2>\n

\"Riyadh's<\/p>\n

On April 18, the Irqah neighborhood joined the Green Riyadh program, kicking off a tree-planting campaign. Following in the footsteps of other residential areas like Al-Aziziyah and Al-Naseem, Irqah is set to become a greener and more vibrant community.<\/p>\n

The initiative is planting trees that are perfect for Saudi’s weather<\/h2>\n

\"Riyadh's<\/p>\n

The project in Irqah involves planting 24,000 heat-tolerant trees and shrubs, perfect for Saudi Arabia’s summer climate. Alongside this, 39 parks will bloom, and greening efforts will touch eight schools, 54 mosques, 4 government buildings, and 69 kilometers of streets. These enhancements aim to beautify the neighborhood, promote walking, and cut down on healthcare costs and energy consumption.<\/p>\n

There will also be bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways for all to enjoy!<\/h2>\n
