Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on the role of transnational knowledge and triple-helix relations between Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and both the West and Asia for pursuing smart cities in the GCC. Promoting smart cities in the GCC is an important aspect of promoting comprehensive environmental, social and cultural sustainability in the GCC. Smart cities are also an important condition for economic transition and diversification from oil- and gas-rent-based economies to more knowledge-based economies. Such GCC smart cities will equally require strong transnational knowledge and triple-helix relations between local academia, business, civil society and government, with foreign counterparts crisscrossing national and sectorial borders.
