ABSTRACT

Kids and children are the core of a community in terms of its future development. Thus, it is very significant to provide the best possible environment for the kids to develop their growth intellectually, physically and mentally. The government of Saudi Arabia intends to attain a well-developed nation status through its vision 2030, and it has placed the focus on kids development. Hence, this paper suggests the development of kid's kingdom in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in order to achieve the goal set by the vision 2030. A case study method is used to gather information to come up with development plans. This study examined 4 case studies related to the kid's center. From the case studies analyzed, it is found that the proposed children's kingdom will require only a few areas, such as education, entertainment, administration and open space. The total estimated area for the kid's kingdom is 8762m². The selected development site for the kid's kingdom is located at Alshatee district on the northern side of Jeddah. The design concept of children's kingdom is to provide children with a space to imagine a new world, attract their attention, and let them freely express their feelings, learn in new ways, and build their own kingdom. The kid's kingdom is expected to facilitate the development of the younger generation of Saudi Arabia and achieve its vision 2030 as a developed nation.
