Abstract

The process of developing a knowledge city requires active participation of the entire society. Universities have managed to be the agents of change and economic growth. The local government has been the body responsible for the exchange, evaluation, and update of knowledge. KCs initiatives are compiled by the private sector, stimulating community leaders to set ambitious goals. Further, knowledge citizens have played a vital role via the participation in the creation, exchange and transformation of knowledge. In this paper, a collaboration model to restructure the interrelationship of knowledge agents in the City of Jeddah is sketched out, moving a step towards bridging the gap between theory and application. Different roles of knowledge agents are identified and reviewed. Further, various knowledge cycle models are analysed and examined. The local context of the City of Jeddah is introduced, guidelines are derived at and a collaboration model is sketched out.
