The urban planning processes in the developing world and Arab world have been top-down, technocratic and exclusionary. Collaboration and cooperation are considered important keys in an increasingly interconnected complex world. This means plans and land-use plans if they are to be implemented need the engagement support of many stakeholders. The instrument is a coordinating instrument and stakeholder participation is crucial.This research is focused on finding practical and tangible ways/means to enhance stakeholder participation in the urban strategic planning processes in Arab cities, thereby enhancing the role of participatory urban planning as an important urban planning approach. This study relied on the analysis of urban strategic planning processes in four major Arab cities (case studies), namely: Abu Dhabi (UAE), Luxor (Egypt), Al Medina (KSA) and Sharjah (UAE). This thesis also relied on various questionnaires between the actors who had a role in activating stakeholder participation in the urban planning process in Arab cities.The main results of this thesis were to devise a practical framework aimed to enhance and activate stakeholder participation in urban planning processes in Arab cities (focusing on Sharjah as the main case study of this research). The convener and stakeholder network have been the most significant issues that impede the role of stakeholders in the urban strategic planning processes in Arab cities.Based on these findings, this thesis presented a set of recommendations, solutions and corrective steps to improve the role of stakeholder networks, as well as the convener, in order to make the most of stakeholders as a driving force to activate the urban strategic plans of Arab cities.Finally, stakeholders are considered the backbone of the urban planning process in any urban environment. Where urban planning is defined as improvements in different urban environments in order to improve people's lives and meet their needs. Hence it can be said that urban planning is "people-to-people." Therefore, this thesis tried hard to highlight the importance of stakeholders in the urban strategic planning processes in Arab cities and to develop a pragmatic roadmap to maximize their utilization by devising a practical framework as well as presenting various key recommendations and solutions.
