Abstract: Abstract Various smart city projects are springing nationally across different sectors in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Owing to the multidisciplinary and multidimensional nature of smart city initiatives undertaken by all sectors, it is vital that a conceptual model exists to ensure that these initiatives are integrated, complement each other, and are strategically aligned. This chapter proposes a National Smart City Framework (NSCF) for the Kingdom of Bahrain developed by examining international standards and through consultation with major stakeholders from the private and public sectors as well as the relevant non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The proposed study is a joint project between the University of Bahrain (UOB) and the Information and eGovernment Authority (IGA) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
