Saudi Arabia’s Heritage Commission, in cooperation with the Royal Commission for Riyadh City and Riyadh Municipality, has completed the registration and coding of 180 modern urban heritage landmarks in Riyadh. The registered landmarks represent prominent milestones in Riyadh's architectural history during the 20th century, documenting stages of the city's urban transformation and reflecting the evolution of that era's construction methods and planning. The work involved documenting the sites, registering them in the National Urban Heritage Register, and installing standardized signboards featuring QR codes to highlight their heritage value and enhance their presence in the urban landscape. The project supports Saudi Vision 2030 targets to preserve national heritage and highlight it as a cultural and developmental asset, contributing to a national register documenting the historical and cultural value of urban heritage sites across the Kingdom.
