Urban renewal enhances environment in Madinah

Madinah’s distinctive architectural style and human-centered urban initiatives have enhanced the holy city’s visual identity and improved pedestrian access to the Prophet’s Mosque. 

These initiatives include expanding green spaces, paving roads, operating public transportation, and licensing electric vehicle and bicycle services to help reduce carbon emissions. 

They also focus on connecting historic neighborhoods to the mosque via pedestrian pathways, installing energy-efficient lighting, and designing routes that support safe, smooth movement for both pedestrians and light electric vehicles in densely populated spaces.
