Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members have experienced tremendous transformation in their smart cities in recent years. Every GCC nation has its own urban planning authority to manage urban growth and development since its independence from British rule. These planning agencies create strategies, plans, rules, and oversee the building process. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive analysis, cross-border comparisons, and the generation of insights that contribute to a deeper understanding of urban planning dynamics and strategies within the Gulf Cooperation Council. The objective of this article is to examine the national spatial strategies (NSS) and vision plans of GCC countries. This study discusses the existing methods, plans, and efforts to accomplish this goal while emphasizing prospective opportunities, problems, and difficulties. We used the SWOT method to evaluate the national vision plans of GCC countries. The analysis identifies successful outcomes that the GCC countries have already achieved in terms of their national spatial strategies. The weakness in the current strategies is oil dependency, which could be strengthened. Potential opportunities in the tourism sector need to be taken full advantage of, and potential threats, like regional tension, need to be managed to prevent the failure of the development of the existing urban system. The primary suggestion entails executing programs outlined by the respective line ministries and ensuring efficient management of urban spatial expansion by municipal authorities. However, the findings could serve as lessons for those at the helm of affairs in GCC countries to collaborate and achieve a comprehensive national strategic plan.

“…However, this approach presents two questions: the first one is that there are already regional organizations seeking to govern regional security, including the AU, the IGAD and the LAS. The existence of these regional organizations has not guaranteed better governance of regional security, so the belief that another one will do so is completely baseless, particularly because these organizations are characterized by a reluctance to compromise on questions affecting national security and to relinquish national sovereignty (De Waal, 2019;Legrenzi, 2008). The second one is that this belief in institutionalisation as the sole solution for every problem has even justified the intention to enforce a regional institution by the…”

In the last few years, the Red Sea has witnessed unprecedented attention from scholars and policymakers. However, this does not preclude the fact that it has held enormous importance for the actors surrounding it long before. Yet, it has never qualified as a region due to a worldview deployed by hegemonic regionalism that determines what qualifies as a region. This article seeks to explain why hegemonic regionalism is ill-suited to explain regionalism in the Red Sea. We propose a theoretical framework establishing the distinct elements of hegemonic regionalism and how they have been countered by other perspectives. Then we turn towards the Red Sea Council to discuss its emergence and how it challenges the key elements of hegemonic explanations.
