t he lack of studies regarding this was the research problem which led to a hypothesis set as (knowledge-based urban development is an important tool in contemporary cities growth).

research aimed (to build a knowledge frame-work related to knowledge-based urban development impact on contemporary cities growth) through the following sequence : 1.

creating a knowledge-based urban development literature review.

2.

clarifying the relationship between the knowledge-based urban development and knowledge workers.

3.

determining the theoretical framework to recognize level of impact of knowledge-based urban development on the city growth.

the research concluded that: knowledge-based urban development in cities depend on technical economic and community directories as a mechanism to achieve knowledge-based economy and build a new spatial relationship (knowledge city).
