As part of its commitment to protecting natural components within development projects, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City preserved three ancient trees during the implementation of the second southern ring road development project, emphasizing its approach of integrating modern infrastructure requirements with preserving high-value environmental elements.

These efforts reflect the level of care for natural elements in project sites.

The commission implemented a series of technical and engineering measures to ensure the safety of the trees, along with protection, maintenance, and continuous field monitoring throughout the execution phases.

These efforts reflect the level of care for natural elements in project sites, as consideration was given to preserving the environmental value of trees, some of which are over a hundred years old.

Through this step, the commission affirms that the development of Riyadh is not limited to improving traffic efficiency and infrastructure but also includes adopting responsible practices that balance urban growth with the sustainability of the natural landscape.

second southern ring road

The Second Southern Ring Road, also known as the G1503 Shanghai Ring Expressway in its southern section, is a major highway encircling the city of Shanghai, China. Its construction began in the early 2000s to alleviate traffic congestion on the older, inner ring roads and to support the city’s rapid urban expansion. Completed in phases by 2010, it now serves as a vital transportation corridor connecting industrial zones, residential areas, and the Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

Riyadh

Riyadh is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, located in the central Arabian Peninsula. Originally a small walled town known for its date farms and wells, it grew significantly after becoming the capital of the Saudi state in the early 20th century, following King Abdulaziz Al Saud’s unification of the kingdom in 1932. Today, Riyadh is a modern metropolis blending ancient heritage with rapid contemporary development, serving as the political, financial, and administrative hub of the country.
