This paper investigates the living conditions in low-income neighborhoods of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, providing suggestions to improve living standards for current and future generations. The research fits into the Housing Program as part of Vision 2030 to achieve the Vision’s objective for Saudi families to access appropriate housing and go beyond its purposes. In this framework, the contribution presents a mixed-method approach through measurable data, observational research, and critical analysis conducted on Al Jaradiyah, a low-income district of Riyadh, aimed at identifying current limits and future possibilities to ensure a better life for people in their residential houses and the urban spaces of the neighborhood. Through the analysis of the built and unbuilt environment of the district, it was possible to define strategic guidelines to lead the neighborhood to adopt sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions of households. The research aims to provide recommendations to help government institutions, policymakers, and architects create affordable and sustainable housing solutions that meet the needs of low-income families in Riyadh.
