Bujairi Terrace, the premium distinctive dining destination in the heart of the historical Diriyah, has received the Architectural and Urban Creativity Award from Riyadh Municipality.
Opened in December 2022, Bujairi Terrace attracted over one million visitors in its first six months of operation, according to SPA.
Spanning 15,000 sqm, the dining district features over 20 globally renowned restaurants and cafés, including four Michelin-starred brands—Chez Bruno, Tatel, Hakkasan, and Long Chim. It also offers a thoughtfully curated blend of local Saudi cuisine and international flavors.
As a dynamic mixed-use developer, Diriyah is reshaping urban planning to turn Saudi Arabia's historic birthplace into a vibrant new capital of culture, entertainment, and education.
Diriyah's ambitious goals, aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, aim to attract 50 million visits annually, generate over 178,000 direct jobs, and contribute more than US$18.6 billion directly to the national GDP by 2023.

Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) has announced that the World Cities Culture Summit 2024 is set to take place from October 30 to November 1, under the patronage of Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture.

Dubai Culture has announced that this year's forum carries the theme “Tomorrow’s Culture: How Will the Next Generation Shape our World?”, inspired by global cities' efforts to engage youth and future generations in reshaping urban life through innovative solutions that contribute to a cultural legacy for the future, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.

The summit’s discussions will spotlight the efforts of participating cities to support the creative economy, invest in cultural and creative industries, and nurture talent, providing opportunities for the next generation to contribute to the cultural future of cities. The summit will also provide cultural and creative city leaders with a vast platform to exchange ideas and knowledge, exploring the role of culture in shaping sustainable future cities.

The summit’s global agenda, with its opening ceremony to be held at the Al Shindagha Museum, the UAE’s largest open-air heritage museum, will feature a number of closed sessions discussing the role of youth in global cultural policies, models for funding cultural projects, the role of artificial intelligence in cultural policymaking, the contribution of creative districts to urban innovation, the integration of culture in healthcare, and leveraging culture to address climate issues, WAM said.

Additionally, the summit will showcase strategies developed by cities worldwide to empower the next generation to develop skills and utilize advanced technology to face future challenges. Dubai Culture will also offer one public session discussing how cities, the next generation, and cultural professionals need to thrive in a digital, global, and rapidly changing world.

Several international speakers are scheduled to participate in the Ideas for Tomorrow sessions, presenting their visions for the future of culture. The summit will also witness the launch of the third round of the Leadership Exchange Program supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, fostering cooperation and developing exchanges between cities.
