This paper highlights the analysis of theoretical concepts of sustainable cities and ethical frameworks in the context of the economic transformations taking place in Saudi cities. The research seeks to propose strategic principles to enhance the concept of sustainable cities that are compatible with the duality of development and resource conservation, and in light of a research problem, which is the dominance of the philosophy of physical planning, which translates the traditional ideas of technocratic planners towards a tendency towards economic investment at the expense of social development and environmental preservation.
