Alkhobar launches tree digitization project to become smart green city
Jeddah: The Eastern Province Municipality has launched a project to document and digitize trees in Alkhobar, aiming to make it the first smart green city in the region. The first phase will involve the recording and digital tagging of more than 100,000 trees. The initiative is expected to strengthen Alkhobar's global standing, as the city ranks 61st in the 2025 Smart Cities Index. Officials said that the project reflects the municipality's commitment to environmental sustainability while creating economic opportunities by encouraging private sector participation in tree-planting campaigns. Each tree will be fitted with an electronic tag carrying detailed information such as its species, location and care guidelines, in both Arabic and English. The tags will be geo-linked to create a comprehensive database of Alkhobar's green assets. The project will also promote investment in smart cities and sustainable infrastructure, raise environmental awareness and enhance social responsibility, the Saudi Press Agency reported. More than 10,000 trees have already been tagged in areas including the Southern Corniche, the waterfront, the Northern Corniche and along main roads. The program will eventually cover all trees across the city. The initiative aligns with the Saudi Green Initiative, which aims to reduce carbon emissions, plant 10 billion trees, and protect 30 percent of the Kingdom's land and marine areas by 2030. Across the Kingdom, cities are adopting sustainable urban strategies to improve air quality, expand green spaces and enhance biodiversity. Saudi Arabia's broader smart city vision includes megaprojects such as NEOM with its futuristic developments, The Line, Oxagon, Trojena and Sindalah, powered entirely by renewable energy. Riyadh is advancing with integrated smart transport, digital healthcare and its massive Green Riyadh afforestation program. Jeddah Economic City is being designed with smart energy grids and automated waste systems, while King Abdullah Economic City focuses on port innovation and digital ecosystems. Qiddiya City near Riyadh is set to become a global entertainment and sports hub with AI-driven operations, and Mohammed bin Salman Nonprofit City in Riyadh is pioneering a global-first district dedicated to education, innovation and culture.

Saudi real estate authority reports 185% rise in renewed Owners' Association Certificates
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Real Estate General Authority announced an increase of 185 percent in the number of renewed Owners' Association Certificates through its electronic portal during the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2024. The number of renewed certificates exceeded 635 during this period, as part of the authority's efforts to create a sustainable regulatory environment that safeguards the rights of property owners and residents of jointly owned real estate units. As a key part of Saudi Vision 2030, REGA aims to professionalize real estate practices, streamline licensing, and promote investment through digital platforms like Mullak. In addition, REGA has introduced off-plan property regulations to better protect both buyers and developers. Mullak's indicators for the first half show the establishment of 3,600 new Owners' Associations, covering more than 9,000 registered real estate units. This brought the total number of accredited associations to 17,000. Over 16,000 new members joined during this time, raising the total number of registered members on the portal to more than 160,000. The authority also registered 4,000 association presidents and over 1,000 property managers, reflecting the growing scope of participation in association management and the increasing interest in regulating relationships between owners and improving the efficiency of community management. REGA said the total number of transactions processed through the Owners' Associations portal exceeded 74,000. These transactions included property registrations, ownership transfers, appointment voting for association leaders, and issuance and renewal of certificates. The portal also provides additional services to support the development and regulation of the real estate sector. The authority said that property managers in accredited Owners' Associations are authorized to document lease contracts related to the investment of common areas. Such contracts require prior approval through members' voting on the electronic portal before they can be officially documented via the Ejar platform.
