| Abstract | New towns have been used as iastruments for achieving national development policy goals as well as for achieving more. specific regional and urbaa development objectives. However, recent studies on new towns have failed to give adequate emphasis to the multiple goals they can be planned to achieve. To redress this neglect, the role of Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia’s development is discussed in this paper using many variables including the degree of achievements of related national. regional and local planning goals and objectives, its planning and management styles, its achievements so far, as well as the types of problems and challenges it faces. |
