The master plan for Riyadh Expo 2030


Saudi Arabia unveiled the master plan for Riyadh Expo 2030 during an official reception organized by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City in Paris, France, on June 19, Saudi Press Agency reported.

 

The Riyadh Expo 2030 will be held near King Salman International Airport, which is currently being developed. This aims to make it easily accessible for visitors arriving at the airport. Visitors can reach the exhibition site within minutes by using the "Riyadh Metro" network, covering all parts of Riyadh city and connecting to one of the three exhibition entrances and the modern road network.  

 

The exhibition's pavilions, estimated at 226, were designed in a spherical shape, with an equator line running through them. This visual approach aligns with the exhibition's vision, ensuring equal opportunities for all participants. 

 

A prominent landmark will be built at the heart of the main plan for Riyadh Expo 2030, symbolizing “Responsibility for Protecting the Planet.” It will be based on 195 columns representing the number of countries participating in the exhibition. Surrounding this landmark will be three pavilions, each representing the exhibition's sub-themes of “Prosperity for All,” “Climate Action,” and “A Different Tomorrow.”

 

The exhibition will also feature the Collaborative Change Corner (C3), an area that will drive innovation and creativity during the seven-year journey leading up to and beyond Riyadh Expo 2030. The C3 aims to showcase how collaboration among the smartest minds in scientific, social, and intellectual innovations can accelerate the changes that will shape our future. Saudi Arabia held an official reception for Riyadh's bid to host Expo 2030, in Paris, on June 19, according to data available with Argaam.

 

The Kingdom submitted an official application to organize Expo 2030, whereas Paris-based BIE announced that four countries submitted their official files to host this important event, led by Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), in addition to South Korea (Busan), Italy (Rome), and Ukraine (Odessa).

 

During the 171st BIE general assembly in November 2023, member states will vote on the candidates and choose the winning country for Expo 2030.
