Sustainability is a topic of great interest today, particularly for
the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which have witnessed
very rapid economic and demographic growth over the past decade.
The observed growth has led to unsustainable consumption patterns
of vital resources such as water, energy, and food, highlighting
the need for an urgent shift towards green growth and sustainable
development strategies. Sustainability in the Gulf covers the
region's contemporary development challenges through the lens of
the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which place
sustainability at the centre of the solution to the current
environmental, economic, and social imbalances facing GCC
countries. The book presents multiple analyses of Gulf-specific
sustainability topics, examining the current status, challenges,
and opportunities, as well as identifying key lessons learned.
Innovative and practical policy recommendations are provided, as
well as new conceptual angles to the evolving academic debates on
the post-oil era in the Gulf. Through chapters covering
sector-related studies, as well as the socio-economic dimensions of
the sustainability paradigm, this volume offers valuable insights
into current research efforts made by the GCC states, proposing a
way forward based on lessons learned. This is a valuable resource
for students, academics, and researchers in the areas of
Environmental Studies, Political Economy, and Economics of the GCC
states.

This book presents the first broad reflection on the challenges,
opportunities, and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in
the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Unique results and insights are
derived through case studies from diverse disciplines, including
engineering, economics, data science, policy-making, governance,
and humanscience. Particularly related to these 'softer'
disciplines, we make some unexplored yet topical contributions to
the literature, with a focus on the GCC (but by no means limited to
it), including AI and implications for women, Islamic schools of
thought on AI, and the power of AI to help deliver wellbeing and
happiness in cities and urban spaces. Finally, the readers are
provided with a synthesis of ideas, lessons learned, and a path
forward based on the diverse content of the chapters. The book
caters to the educated non specialist with interest in AI,
targeting a wide audience including professionals, academics,
government officials, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and
non-governmental organizations.

In this edited volume, academics and practitioners from various
disciplines investigate the challenges, opportunities and
frameworks in the implementation of Smart Cities in the Gulf.The
volume presents insightful analyses and identifies key lessons
learned through case studies covering four main themes including
smart city frameworks and governance, resources and infrastructure,
information and communication technologies, and the social
perspective. In doing so, the book provides policy recommendations
related to smart governance, as well as overall frameworks that
cities can adopt in their process of transition, and knowledge that
is integral to bridge the gap between various stakeholders in the
Smart City milieu. This edited volume comprises extended versions
of papers presented at a workshop held at the University of
Cambridge, UK titled "Smart Cities in the GCC: Current State,
Opportunities and Challenges."
