Ministry of Housing links new property zoning laws to Vision 2030 goals

The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing (MOMAH) has already presented the new rules aimed at transforming the urban environment of the Kingdom. The ministry through incorporation of these new frameworks and national strategic goals will improve quality of life sustainability and diversity of the economy in the Saudi cities. This strategic move directly connects the updated property zoning laws to the ambitious targets of Vision 2030, ensuring that urban expansion supports the goal of increasing homeownership to 70% while fostering vibrant, mixed-use communities.

Property zoning laws drive sustainable urban growth

The new regulations are more emphasized on urban planning standard modernization. By revising property zoning laws, the ministry is encouraging higher density developments and the integration of green spaces within residential areas. The changes should minimize urban sprawl and form more walkable and interconnected neighborhoods. The new codes also make the procedure of giving consent to the developers much easier, with fewer bureaucratic barriers and less time to deliver the housing units to the ever-increasing market demand due to the fast changing economic state in the Kingdom.

Ministry of Housing aligns targets with Vision 2030

This regulatory overhaul serves as a critical pillar in the Ministry of Housing’s strategy to meet Vision 2030 milestones. The new zoning laws also contribute to commercial and educational infrastructure development in the residential targets, a phenomenon witnessed in new approvals of on-campus student residence. All these programs are directed at the attraction of foreign investment and the increase of the contribution of the real estate sector to the non-oil GDP, establishing the position of the real estate sector as a factor contributing to the prosperity of the country.
