With the emergence of various environmental, economic, and social problems in the beginning of the 21st century, many countries and international organizations turned to adopting the concept of Knowledge-based urban development (KBUD).

This paper addresses the theoretical side of the KBUD concept, in an attempt to establish a clear vision of the KBUD concept and of KCs’ urban and architectural potentials.
