Abstract: Abstract Researchers and NGOs in the northern hemisphere use the term sustainability to refer to aspects of prolongation of its three dimensions: environmental, economic, and social. However, research pertaining to sustainability within the Global South is limited, and there exists an underdeveloped comprehension of the aforementioned dimensions as experienced within distinct cultural contexts. This chapter focuses on the third pillar (thriving economy) of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and how this is linked to social sustainability. This chapter goes on to explain how culture elements, such as religion, are embedded in social sustainability.
