**PROJECT BACKGROUND**

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is undergoing major transformational economic and social change, driven by Saudi Vision 2030, which is aimed at reducing the county’s reliance on oil revenues and government spending.Launched in 2016, Saudi Vision 2030 is founded on three pillars — 1) A vibrant society; 2) A thriving economy; and 3) An ambitious nation — that draws on the nation’s intrinsic strengths. Key to its success is creating high-performing, accountable government at all levels; attracting private sector investment; nurturing an entrepreneurial environment; and ensuring employment opportunities for the country’s young population.

Through the Spatial Planning and Visual Appeal program, MOMRAH aims to achieve a number of Vision 2030 goals, which are defined by two tracks built on three building blocks. The first track is the spatial planning track, which involves a multilevel set of spatial policies and tools that determine the future spatial territorial structure. This is accomplished through a formal planning process where land, infrastructure and services demands guide the allocation of suitable land, incorporating specific organizational forms and hierarchies of tools to define spatial interdependencies at the local, regional, and national levels, enabling decentralized but coordinated action. The second track is improving visual appeal in cities which is highly dependent on a steady urban planning and urban design foundation. It involves shaping of space with a focus on enhancing the experience of the urban landscape. Also, it goes beyond the function of planning and design, as it entails the combination of social, economic, and environmental dimensions that influence the arrangement, appearance, and function of buildings and places.

Drawing on its extensive international expertise, this project will be implemented by UNDP jointly with UN-Habitat and has been designed to support and deliver six initiatives within the Spatial Planning and Visual Appeal Program established by MoMRAH with specific focus on the following outcomes:

- The Regional Plans, Local Plans and Urban Codes under MoMRAH’s jurisdiction are efficiently and effectively delivered following international best practices.
- The Public Realm Program is activated, setting the grounds for effective public realm developments.
- Local planning departments are empowered and enabled through a new Operating Model for Planning Departments.
- The municipal system is improved and restructured, updating settlements boundaries, revising classification and categorization of Saudi human settlements and optimizing service delivery towards efficiency and sustainability.
- The Saudi Planning framework is restructured, planning tools are redefined, updated and improved in line with the new classification and categorization.
- The existing MoMRAH Urban Design Studio is upscaled in a fully-fledged Urban Lab and capacitated to spearhead and innovative device tools and projects-based satellite Labs in support of MoMRAH mission.

The project will provide a strategic framework for UNDP and UN-Habitat to provide substantive technical assistance, advisory, and quality assurance services to the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing (MoMRAH) to deliver on its six initiatives of the Spatial Planning and Visual Appeal Program mandate, and in particular perform its functions more efficiently and effectively in the six initiatives that are the focus of this project. The project will capitalize on UNDP and UN-Habitat’s institutional and human capacity strengthening expertise and experience, and its strategic role as a central and impartial knowledge provider, builder of capacities, partnership broker, and facilitator of exchanges at country, regional and global levels.
