Work starts on 35km Dhahrat Namar Park in Riyadh

2025/12/22 13:30

Work has started on Dhahrat Namar Park in southwest Riyadh as part of Saudi Arabia’s Green Riyadh initiative.

The park, a 35-km corridor and covering 2.5 million sq m, will extend through six neighbourhoods: Tuwaiq, Al-Awali, Shubra, Al-Suwaidi Al-Gharbi, Al-Hazm, and Namar, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) said in a statement.

The park will have more than 47,000 native, valley-adapted trees, providing shade across 54 percent of its area.

The development will include tree-lined pedestrian promenades along the neighbourhoods, 52 km of walking trails, and a 33 km cycling track, aimed at encouraging residents to exceed an average of 6,000 steps per day.

The park’s design incorporates locally sourced materials that blend with the natural landscape of Wadi Hanifa. It will include 42 observation decks overlooking Wadi Namar and the lake, along with 46 seating and picnic areas.

In addition, three suspension bridges will connect the surrounding neighbourhoods to the green spaces, improving access and encouraging walkability across the area.

Construction will also include 29 sports courts and 17 children’s playgrounds. The park will provide 3,800 parking spaces and 10 public restrooms, in addition to other services and amenities such as restaurants and retail outlets, the statement said.

No timeline for the project’s completion was given.

In December 2023, tourism vice-minister Princess Haifa bint Mohammed Al-Saud said the kingdom would invest $92 billion to make Riyadh one of the world’s most sustainable cities by 2030.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched the Saudi Green Initiative in 2021. It has set numerous targets and standards to boost energy efficiency. These cover 90 percent of home and building energy consumption.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
