Intelligent Cities in Saudi Arabia

Four Integrated Economic Cities / Intelligent Cities are

4. Jizan Economic City (JEC).* Tabuk Economic City and Ras Alzor Economic City are also planned.

“In developing

the Economic

Cities, over a

thousand of the

world’s free

trade zones

were surveyed.

The sixty

successful were

meticulously

studied to

determine key

success factors.

As a result, the

Economic Cities

represent the

ultimate

innovation in

Public-Private-

Partnership

(PPP)”.

Welcome to the

Broadband Economy

The Broadband Economy is the product of the build-out of low-cost, high-speed

communications and information technology on both the global and local levels

making Intelligent Communities possible today.


FORUM

Creating the

Broadband Economy! Global Broadband

" Deployed beginning in 1970s

" Connecting economic centers worldwide, enabling…

• Collaboration and trade across time zones and borders with low or no

transaction cost

• Melding financial markets and making investment portable

• Making intellectual property and knowledge work dominant economic

factors

! Local Broadband

" Deployed beginning in 1990s

" Providing individuals, local institutions and government with

enterprise-level and high-speed access to…

• A global and local community

• Worldwide information resources

• A global marketplace


FORUM

Characteristics of the

Broadband Economy! For economic purposes, the hardworking people of Mumbai, Shenzen and Jakarta

live next door to the hardworking people of New York, Melbourne and

Vancouver– but have much lower costs and living standards

! It’s a “FLAT”, “SPIKEY”, and “CONNECTED” WORLD :

" Freidman: Impacts and opportunities of Global Sourcing, Administrative and

Labour Arbitrage

" Florida and Porter: Mega-regions and Clusters of knowledge and

commercialization

" ICF: Connected, Networks, Virtual Missions and Global Partnerships

! Supercharged competition between global cities leads to…

" Falling prices of hard and soft goods, which challenges established producers

while benefiting consumers

" Accelerated product lifecycles as competitors vie for advantage in the market

" Efforts to move “up the value chain”

in response to price competition for

commoditized products and services


FORUM

What is an Intelligent Community?

!From a Global Perspective:

Intelligent Communities –

" Recognize the impact of broadband and its role as an

essential utility for job creation and economic growth in the

new BROADBAND ECONOMY

" Work to create a culture of use among citizens, businesses

and government to stimulate economic development and

political participation

" Ensure that low-income and at-risk populations can all

participate in the broadband economy

" Transformation occurs at every level of live, work and

play


FORUM

What is an Intelligent Community?

Intelligent Communities know that being “wired”

or “wireless” isn’t enough…

… it needs to be a more comprehensive approach

to understanding and building a new

community-wide eco-system :

" Intelligent Communities respond to the challenge of

local economic development in the broadband economy

" Work to maintain a high quality of life - as places

where the next generation can find a good job, make a

home and raise their children

" Leverage their unique qualities and traditional strengths

in a new economic environment…


FORUM

Intelligent Communities “Future-Proof”themselves……“… it’s my destiny, and I won’t wait for others tocreate it for me…”

" Being connected to the global economy: anywhere, anytime!

" Everyone is adapting (individuals, businesses and institutions)

and innovating to take advantage of changing economic

opportunities

" Producing and sustaining economic growth through

transforming and leveraging local strengths for global use

" Recognizing geographic location is no longer an obstacle

" Investing in green and sustainable infrastructure and processes

" Marketing yourselves and taking action!

Being part of broadband economy means:

Broadband InfrastructureFor example - most of the Smart 21 and Top 7 cities are

early adopters and have a wireless strategy as part of the

transformation of their communities…

Great cities seize the opportunity to be early adopters of newtechnologies.

Creating A Knowledge Workforce

! Knowledge-based Workforce

" Create, attract and retain a workforce that can perform“knowledge work” (in universities; primary schools; factories& R&D labs)

! Ubiquitous broadband suggests universal deploymentand use.

" requires a complete overhaul in our collective ability andinterest to ensure that everyone in our society can takeadvantage of broadband applications and services.

" this further requires that we educate and make available toeveryone the tools to utilize and ultimately purchase theseservices to achieve this kind of prosperity.

! Building ubiquitous broadband requires buildingubiquitous demand.

! Creation, Attraction and Retention


FORUM


Innovation and Creativity

! Changing people’s lives; efficient services; e-

government; community culture of use

! Innovation occurs when the environment is

created for creativity and ideas to flourish and

the resources and technologies are accessible

(and affordable) to enable them to happen.


FORUM


Digital Inclusion

! Ensure that the benefits of the new economy reach all rungs of theeconomic ladder

! Digital and Broadband Economy is fundamentally transformingsocieties, their economies and their cultures around the world.

! But populations are becoming increasingly divided between thosewith access to technologies, education and the jobs and lifestyle thatthey offer and those without.

! Unequal adoption of technology usually has had massiveramifications to the health of the local or regional economy and itsrelated social and cultural advancements.

! Brookings Institute & Gartner Dataquest study:

" Impact of ubiquitous broadband at 10 mbps, $500 billion inNorth America and globally $10 Trillion

" “The largest single opportunity is to capture demand from thosepreviously denied access”.


FORUM


Marketing and Advocacy

! Globalization of markets, capital and business

operations puts a premium on ability of

communities to market their “intelligence”

! Intelligent Communities market themselves

effectively, based on needs of growth industries

and competitive offerings of other communities

! Opportunity for “Communications and

Advocacy” as well as “BRANDING”
