“…As part of the cabinet's 2030 sustainable development plan, the Egyptian government launched the Egyptian Vision Smart City initiative in 2018, aiming to create eight smart cities across the country. Mitigating climate change, introducing egovernance, and creating job opportunities outside major urban centers will achieve socially inclusive growth in the country (Ali, 2022;Abusaada et al, 2023).…”

“…Dongtan in China aims for a self-sufficient, minimal-impact eco-city that blends urban and rural elements (Wang and Mell, 2019), sharing NEOM's sustainability ambitions but with a greater focus on agricultural integration (Yusuf and Abdulmohsen, 2022). The Smart Village in Egypt, while reflecting NEOM's tech-driven business environment outside Cairo, does not share NEOM's extensive urban ecosystem aspirations (Abusaada et al, 2023).…”

Our study meticulously pursued its objectives through a strategic data-gathering approach and a thorough analytical evaluation. In the data collection phase, we undertook an exhaustive accumulation of geographical and environmental information, utilizing high-resolution satellite images and diverse thematic maps. We employed GIS-based models and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to effectively determine the most suitable areas for urban development. These models pinpointed zones along the coastal areas and nearby plains, spanning 198.89 square kilometers or 8.25% of the total study area, as highly appropriate for development due to their potential for desalination and tourism, and proximity to vital infrastructure such as the forthcoming NEOM airport and high-speed railway connections. The findings from the Southwestern NEOM model corroborate with NEOM’s strategic goals, especially validating the chosen location for The Line. This location is considered ideal due to its accessibility, terrain suitability, and capability to incorporate renewable energy and sustainable water management, thereby supporting the strategic aims and placement of the initiative. This not only highlights the strategic positioning of these areas but also aligns with the Saudi Vision 2030, fostering economic diversification and sustainable development. Together, these actions have established a comprehensive framework for urban planning that respects environmental conservation and promotes sustainable development objectives. By incorporating socio-economic and cultural factors, our research offers a well-rounded approach to urban development, ensuring that new infrastructure is both environmentally considerate and strategically situated to promote enduring growth and community wellbeing in Southwestern NEOM.

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to revisit the concepts of city singularity and identity, as well as the concept’s related topics (i.e. place identity, place attachment and place dependence). The aim is to investigate the impact of development projects on people's preferences for old and contemporary features in modern cities. The evidence for this can be seen mainly at historical sites such as Heliopolis in Cairo, Egypt.Design/methodology/approachThe authors investigated how development projects affect place identity and city singularity through a three-step process. As a first step, an online questionnaire was administered to experts to assess the characteristics that shape the identity of local districts. In the second and third steps, interviews were conducted, followed by online surveys directed at Heliopolis residents and non-residents. The weight of people’s preferences was determined using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM).FindingsThe results highlighted people's preferences to consider when developing projects at historical sites. Based on these preferences, the authors’ concluded remarks provide insight into some considerations for developing projects in historic places.Originality/valueThe added value here is surveying people’s preferences about development projects in historical places. The physical and social components interplay contributes to city identity and singularity. Based on these preferences, this investigation offers valuable insights into enhancing historical site development.
