It is a set of detailed controls and requirements that organize the urban form of buildings in Wadi Hanifah, its tributaries, and the surrounding lands. This code aligns the general surroundings with a specific identity, enhancing the urban environment and achieving a high balance between people, buildings, and the environment. Additionally, it aims to attract commercial and economic activities.

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) announced the completion of the implementation mechanisms for the Wadi Hanifah Urban Code on October 30, 2020, in collaboration with the Riyadh Province Municipality and Diriyah Gate Development Authority. Wadi Hanifah is a watercourse stretching approximately 120 km, located near Diriyah Governorate in Riyadh Province, at the center of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
