Derived from the Kingdom vision 2030, sustainability goals, SDGs and national urban indicators the team can support the decision makers in planning at the national level. Areas include and not limited to:
Developing and Implementing National Spatial Strategies:
Producing long-term strategic frameworks to guide spatial development across a country in a coordinated, sustainable and equitable manner. Strategies consider economic, social, environmental and governance objectives together. They establish a shared vision and objectives, priorities spatial allocation of resources/activities and policies needed to progress toward goals in an integrated way.
Conducting Public Realm and Park Activation Studies:
Analyzing existing public spaces, recreational facilities, open spaces, trails, parks, plazas and right-of-way areas to determine how to better activate and leverage them. Studies evaluate access, distribution, condition, programming, partnerships, management models and funding/investment needs. The analysis aim ensure working towards vital public spaces that enhance livability, health, community cohesion, environment, economy, safety and more.
Providing Environmental Impact and Design Studies:
Analyzing the potential impacts of major developments, policies, plans or projects on the environment including natural resources, ecosystems, climate risks, pollution and human well-being. Studies inform siting decisions, mitigation measures, policy modifications, project redesigns or alternative proposals needed to develop sustainably while enabling national progress. The impact analysis promote balanced growth that does not compromise future generations' abilities to meet their own needs.
Conducting Policy and Regulation Gap Analyses:
Comparing existing frameworks against sustainability goals, latest practices, peer examples or evaluation findings to identify obstacles, limitations, inefficiencies or gaps that hinder more strategic, impactful and coordinated approach. Analyses determine policies/regulations that can be strengthened, replaced, integrated or adopted new to close gaps, enable interoperability across scales/sectors and regulate in a progressive yet feasible manner. Recommendations maximize benefits of policies while reducing burdens on implementers and communities.
