Khatib & Alami (K&A) was a Silver Sponsor for the first Saudi Smart Cities 2017 Conference, held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Riyadh from the 16th to the 18th of May, under the patronage of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MoMRA).

This conference is a platform for MoMRA to realize its full potential, bringing all the key stakeholders who are and will be involved in the infrastructure’s modernization. This boosts infrastructure, increases investment, designs sustainable cities and improves quality of life for all. With the responsibility of developing urban infrastructure and creating citizen-centric cities, K&A’s City and Regional Planning, Infrastructure, and Geospatial Systems Integration teams showcased their smart vision, strengths and capabilities to help the Kingdom reach its goals.

K&A exhibited its most recent smart urban planning projects, using Virtual Reality (VR) to help the client experience, evaluate and experiment the design, creating a realistic scenario that responds to client’s needs and requirements. This is yet another competitive asset to our company in the Planning and GIS sectors.

The Saudi Smart Cities Conference, being the first of its kind in the Kingdom, promises to provide international best practices, state-of-the-art technologies and create an interactive dialogue to engage citizens, youth, and women in developing the Kingdom’s future cities.
