Abstract
Big Cities and capitals are becoming overcrowded and hard to get future development prospect. New self-sustaining cities are becoming a smart substitutional solution to those old cities. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and information technology infrastructure (ITI) are at the core of these new self-sustaining cities enabling highly integrated services and real-time city monitoring by a network of sensors, wireless devices, cameras, and unified portals connected to massive data centers. All that for creating sustainable economic development and high quality of life by empowering various keys like energy, economy, efficiency, environment, mobility, communication, governance, transportation, people and leverage the quality of life. The Geographic information system (GIS) playing a big role in the smart city architecture and Royal commission in industrial yanbu city (RCY) build their smart city based on Enterprise GIS and open access network (OAN). “Geospatial technologies, such as modern geographic information systems (GIS) and data capturing technologies, are at the heart of the smart city, because understanding the ‘WHERE’ component is critical for making an informed decision. Geospatial technologies largely meet these communication needs, while emphasizing the geographical aspect, which plays a fundamental role in optimizing the understanding and management of the urban space”.

Highlights
Lights can go dim when they aren’t needed, and authorities can get a text message almost instantly whenever there is a fault or tampering in streetlights. It smarter more and more and even become as essential component of every smart city. because it can carry a lot of sensors and devices and even connectivity with weather sensor, wind sensor, humidity sensor and temperature sensor will serve as station for many city agencies such as fire stations and environmental control and called a smart pole in most of smart city projects, as shown in Figure 4 with camera add on, police, road control, traffic police and the digital signage will add investment and awareness
This study set out to focus on the smart city projects using enterprise (GIS) and even with remarkable modern and innovative development and urban development; bigger urban areas are confronting wellbeing and manageability challenges
A Smart City could be an answer to overcomes these challenges using Enterprise Geographic information system (GIS)
Summary
Transferring cities to become smart cities is massive national project which will. These include smart buildings, smart governance, smart healthcare, smart transportation, smart security, smart energy, smart commerce and smart infrastructure” [2]. Here we explain in this article how the enterprise GIS can be a useful tool to consider when planning to transfer cities to become a smart
