Intelligent Cities in Saudi Arabia

Four new cities are under development in the western part of Saudi Arabia: King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) in Rabigh, on the coast north of Jeddah, Prince Abdulaziz Bin Mousaed’s Economic City (PABMEC) near Hail, Knowledge Economic City in Al-Madinah (KECM), and Jizan Economic City (JEC).

They have been planned by the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA). The new economic cities are expected to advance the use of information and communications technologies and forge the high-tech profile of the Kingdom’s regions.
