Prince Faisal bin Abdulaziz bin Ayyaf, Mayor of the Riyadh Region, is confident that Riyadh will astonish the world with its mega projects that will serve as a global model in all fields.

Riyadh, he said, is currently working on a comprehensive transformation path with a clear strategy that stems from the ambitions of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. These ambitions are leading a major movement in the capital and are making progress in the smart city transformation index every day.

Prince Faisal made his comments during a panel discussion at the Kingdom’s first Global Smart City Forum, organized by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). The forum is held in Riyadh on February 12-13.

“Riyadh will astonish everyone. Our ambition is very high, and we will achieve it. We are fortunate to have the elements that any city dreams of as well as a great leader, the Crown Prince,” Prince Faisal said.

“There are also amazing plans, programs and projects taking place in the city, and we are optimistic that Riyadh will be a role model for the world,” he added.
