1 Managing Polycentric Cities: Towards an Integrated Platform for the Delivery of the Jeddah City Plan Amr Attia, Director, AECOM

2 Government s focus on a collective future Saudi Vision 2030 Our ambition is for the long term We are determined to build a thriving country in which all citizens can fulfill their dreams, hopes and ambitions. Therefore, we will not rest until our nation is a leader in providing opportunities for all through education and training, and high quality services such as employment initiatives, health, housing, and entertainment. HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia

4 to unlock its potential for resilient growth Cities have become the front line for many of the world s most pressing challenges, from climate change, water scarcity and air quality, to economic disruption, public health and social instability. The scope of these issues extends beyond individual departments or agencies, beyond city boundaries and beyond public sphere or private sector. Mike Burke, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, AECOM

5 Jeddah Spatial Plan 2033 Sustained growth through integrated urban planning

6 Jeddah Plans Vision 2033 An integrated plan for Jeddah Jeddah Plan Strategic Plan (Policy Framework) Sub Regional Plan (Spatial Plan) Structure Plan (Spatial Plan) Identifies Jeddah Municipality s Vision, Mission and development strategy for Jeddah Governorate to 1454/2033. Identifies the extent of urban growth and spatial strategy for Jeddah Governorate to 1454/2033. Defines the detailed development strategy for Jeddah s urban area to 1454/2033. Local Plan (- Action Area Plans) Provides detailed planning guidance for identified areas of change to complement the Structure Plan.

7 Collaboration and consultation 50 workshops held with stakeholders (public sector, private sector, NGOs) Eight public workshops held with the community 30 intra-agency workshops held with departments inside Jeddah Municipality

8 Jeddah Structure Plan By 2033 Jeddah will have: 6.3 million population 2.3 million jobs 1 x metropolitan centre 6 x town centres 27 x multi-district centres 100 x district centres 400 x neighbourhood centres 1,200 x local centres Land bridge rail & high speed rail 2 x major rail lines 4 x metro lines 1 x port 1 x airport 1455 Structure Plan

9 Integrated solutions for growth Natural systems/ environmentally sensitive land Areas unsuitable for development are reserved with natural systems defining the limits of urban growth. High speed rail Major Regional Transport Networks are returned to the edge of urban centres and connected through multi-modal station interchanges to localised systems. Green infrastructure Water management and stormwater run off is integrated as part of open space provision and management LRT/bus routes Neighbourhoods are connected through localised transport systems proving permeability and access to major distribution networks Pedestrian/cycle ways Safe and secure local transport networks are supported by a series of connective open spaces aligned to recreational areas throughout the city.

13 Jeddah s current condition Historically the city has played an important role as a trade hub, as a gateway to the holy pilgrimage and as home to Jedawis. The city s rapid urban growth has resulted in a number of emerging issue: - Uncontrolled linear urban growth and urban sprawl - Under utilisation of serviced urban land - Fragmentation of the waterfront - Lack of Job creation and economic diversification - Lack of Housing supply/affordability - Uncontrolled expansion of unplanned area - Roads congestion and lack of public transport - Open space and community facilities deficit - Infrastructure and utility limitations to serve existing development and meet new demands Continued urbanisation and city expansion in this manner will pose a threat to the natural resources and to the existing services, infrastructure, cultural and historic assets (the hardware).

14 Population growth Challenges Jeddah population forecast to , Opportunities 33, million 2013 More younger educated nationals Widespread adoption of new technologies Shift to a diversified economy (from oil based) 6.3 million 2035

15 Environmental growth Challenges Degradation of natural environment due to uncontrolled development and current environmental attitudes. Existing open space network is highly fragmented with insufficient provision. Opportunities Capitalise upon built and natural assets for the benefit of residents and visitors. Creation of a green infrastructure network Increase local food production; reducing the costs of importing food, supporting local employment Utilise natural conditions to harness opportunities for renewable energy

16 Economic growth Challenges Competition from economic Ccties derailing future economic growth Expansion of the knowledge economy limited by skills and low participation rates The short term implications of Saudisation on economic growth. Opportunities A Global City for the Islamic world Building on the city s strategic location and growing, diversified employment base High quality, expanding, port and airport Entrepreneurial base and growing workforce

17 Transport and infrastructure growth Challenges Traffic congestion No existing public transport choice across the Governorate Modernisation of antiquated Infrastructure Existing deficiencies in the city s utility and service networks exacerbated by population growth Dominance of infrastructure on the city structure Opportunities New investment in inter-regional transport and infrastructure projects A multi modal transport system providing Governorate wide and local connectivity. Integrated provision of services and utilities to support efficient networks.

18 Jeddah s planned major projects Challenges Major projects will influence Jeddah s city structure. Opportunities To ensure that this development is programmed and phased part of the broader plan

19 Managing the integrated plan

20 Role of technology in integrated planning From a resilience perspective we need to address the way we manage technology in society, and come up with a way to understand that we re always caught up in the some paradox between technology on the one side being part of the solution, but on the other part of the problem. It s a new material in cities We need to understand how to use and control it. Jonas Kroustrup, Chief Resilience Officer, City of Vejle

32 Case studies: Cities maximizing the potential of technology Technology has always shaped city Now we re seeing the service layer laid over the city, for instance UBER and Airbnb are clearly changing quite rapidly how say mobility and real estate work in a city Dan Hill, Executive Director of Futures, Future Cities Catapult

36 Hardware matters but it only matters to the extent it allows the software to work efficiently.
