The idea of research stems from the importance of industrial cities as an important factor in the development of the industrial sector, as they help to establish factories and investments in the country because they provide the local and foreign investor with the infrastructure and services necessary to establish his industrial project, in addition to that they reduce unemployment in society. Industrial cities also occupy a major position within the interests of current economic policies, and in order to develop and strengthen these cities, many countries adopt many strategies, due to the great interest that the latter received from the countries of the world, as the best tool to enhance the productive and competitive capabilities of the industrial sector, in addition to its ability to activate the economic interdependence and interdependence of countries and reduce the risks of competition with imported products, especially with the continuous liberalization of markets. Therefore, the research aims to study the reality of industrial cities in Iraq and how to benefit from the Saudi experience in establishing and establishing industrial cities. Through this research, it was concluded that despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is a rentier country, but it has succeeded in developing its industrial sector and ridding it of the rentier situation partly through the establishment and establishment of industrial cities, which included multiple and different industries, and there are several strategies extracted from this experience that can be taken By the authorities responsible for establishing industrial cities in Iraq, through which you will be able to establish advanced Iraqi industrial cities. The economic base can also be diversified by working to raise the percentage of non-oil sectors' contribution to the real GDP in Iraq and work to increase the private sector’s contribution to the development process and in providing job opportunities and reducing dependence on oil revenues.
