European Green Deal toward the Green Transition in Saudi Arabia

In the last years the GCC and Middle East Region are changing very fast due to the diversification economic process from oil industry to other emerging sectors. The cities are the main pillars of this transformation according to their regional dynamics, socio-economic structure and local economies which are considered important assets for implementing their regional planning and sustainable development goals. Saudi Arabia currently is leading this urban-economic change implemented by Saudi Vision 2030. Through this project financed by EU Commission, Dr. Angelo Battaglia has suggested and oriented new research projects urban-based for the city of Riyadh as new green city in the Gulf Region.
