KSA Vision 2030
Saudi Vision 2030 is a plan to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence upon oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation and tourism. GBV supports this initiative by launching world-class community developments in the Kingdom that include all the elements of Next Gen Housing, including:
Human-Centered Design
Global Business Ventures and Cover Arabia intend to fulfill Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Housing Development Plan through a community focused, human centered design approach. Human centered design is not a design style but a process for designing and developing building products and communities that is grounded in solutions that enable all users to function at their highest capacity. Human centered design and green design are comfortably two sides of the same coin—green design focusing on environmental sustainability, universal design and social sustainability.
Innovative Design
Innovations in approaches to environments, communities and living spaces continue to evolve at a rapid pace. Designing new cities from the ground up allows the integration of new technologies, materials and systemic approaches that improve living conditions and lifestyles.
When you look at communities as interlocked systems, you find opportunities to improve living spaces, public spaces and the flow of information, energy, food and other important communal functions. Global Business Ventures is engaging the best building and landscape architects to ensure optimal livability and efficiency.
Sustainability
Long-term planning requires focusing on sustainable energy, water and food sources, among other things. Global Business Ventures projects are designed for the future, using the latest technologies and strategies to reduce operational costs and impacts.
It is a commitment to reduce negative impacts on the environment and health of residents, but it is also about managing maintenance and sourcing costs. The long-term return on investment from building cities with sustainability in mind is holistic: economic, ecological, health and well-being, and quality of life.

Human-centered design provides clean and renewable energy.

Human-centered design and clean technologies provide clean air.

Human-centered design provides clean and self-sufficient water.
