Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, is one of the cities in the world that is expanding the quickest right now. In the past, the capital expanded from a 50,000-person walled town to a 7.7 million-person contemporary city in 2022. The city experienced several social, environmental, and economic changes during that time. Taking into account that all economic, environmental, and sociocultural factors have changed and shaped the city's urban fabric and have produced an ongoing architectural typology transformation not only in residential needs but also in search of services and transportation into a future globalized capital, the research aims to investigate the effects of the ongoing transformation on urban growth and the effect on its population. In order to understand some common factors in the city's expansion, such as borderline and population growth, the transformation of the urban fabric and connectivity, and the transformation of building typologies with a special focus on humanitarian approaches in design to target the growing needs of the community, five maps of Riyadh from 1950 to the present are compared using a variety of parameters. The study considers assessments done on sociocultural and environmental elements that have influenced the city's development and cater to the various requirements of its populace. Architectural typologies have rapidly changed as a result of the current shift. The study presents a design approach to produce a novel urban and architectural typology that better meets the welfare of the city and the demands of its future residents as a consequence of the performed studies.
