The 61st ISOCARP World Planning Congress will take place at a purpose-built venue within the King Abdulaziz Historical Center in Riyadh - a site that beautifully blends history, culture, and innovation. The Congress venue will be constructed exclusively for this Congress, utilising the Center's expansive open spaces to create a fully tailored environment for plenary sessions, roundtables, special sessions, workshops, exhibitions, and networking activities. Surrounded by iconic landmarks such as the National Museum, Al-Murabba Palace, and Al-Watan Park, the venue will immerse participants in the cultural and historical heart of Riyadh. The venue design will integrate seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, offering modern facilities, accessibility via the National Museum Metro Station, and sustainable features inspired by the Center's green and pedestrian-friendly design. The King Abdulaziz Historical Center - a symbol of the Kingdom's transformation - will thus serve as inspiration for dialogue on the future of cities.
