Abstract	Saudi Arabia is one of the emerging economies that have great ambitions to transform its cities into smart ones. In line with the Saudi Vision 2030 objectives, Saudi authorities planned to start the implementation of the smart city project in 10 cities across the Kingdom. By 2020, this initiative will have targeted five Saudi cities, Makkah, Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Madinah, and Al-Ahsa, respectively. This chapter reviews and assesses the smart city practices in Saudi Arabia with respect to the six dimensions of the smart city concept, with a focus on the five cities that started the implementation to address the question if and to what extent the Saudi vision reflects the smart city concept and dimensions The findings suggest that the Kingdom has a clear vision of how to manage the transformation of these cities into smart cities, while at the same ensuring that each of them retains its specificity. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
