Amman 2025 From Master Plan to Strategic Initiative | Amman Institute Amman Institute
The Greater Amman Municipality set out in 2006 to replace its outdated 1987 development plan with Amman 2025. Due to rapid development pressures, the plan shifted from a traditional 20-year master plan to a more flexible strategic growth initiative. Rather than a long planning phase separated from implementation, analysis and legislative interventions occurred closer together. Extensive engagement with professionals and municipal staff also distinguished Amman 2025. The plan aimed to accommodate 4 million new residents by 2025 through infill, densification, and limiting expansion, while concentrating large developments in designated high-density zones. The short timeline of under two years reflected the urgent need to guide Amman's growth.

Twenty Minutes In Amman With Michael Sorkin | Amman InstituteAmman Institute
This document summarizes an experimental session where Michael Sorkin and a group of Jordanian artists, designers, and architects created photomontages enhancing the pedestrian environment of Amman by superimposing imaginative cities over real images of Amman. The group worked for 3 hours collaborating on the photomontages, envisioning public spaces, signage, green spaces, and facades to make Amman more pedestrian friendly. The document lists the contributors to the session and notes the photomontages are part of a 60 Minutes in Dream City project.
This document outlines opportunities and challenges for transitioning Amman, Jordan to a green economy. It discusses Amman's rapid population growth and environmental challenges like water scarcity. Opportunities mentioned include developing renewable energy, sustainable transportation like bus rapid transit, improved waste management, and green building practices. Challenges include limited resources, budget and expertise as well as changing public behavior. The document advocates green policies and shows examples of sustainable projects already underway in Amman.
This document presents the Urban Envelope Implementation Plan for Amman, Jordan. It begins with an overview that describes Amman's opportunity for growth but also challenges related to rapid urbanization. It establishes principles for planning and development across multiple scales. The main body of the document then details the Urban Envelope Plan through 2025 including conceptual plans, neighborhood classifications, comprehensive area plans, and component plans addressing natural heritage, infrastructure, housing, employment and other land uses. It concludes with sections on phasing and prioritization of actions to implement the plan over time.
This document outlines a study on the impact of rent de-control policies on the commercial sector in downtown Amman, Jordan. It provides background on Jordan's existing rent control regime and the new policies phasing in deregulation between 2010-2014. The study aims to analyze how elimination of rent stabilization will affect tenants, owners, and the overall commercial area through data collection and surveys. It will also review policies used in other international contexts to balance interests and incentives for all parties.
Amman Downtown Plan & Revitalization Strategy | Amman InstituteAmman Institute
The document provides a framework and strategy for downtown Amman development over the next 20 years. It analyzes key issues like loss of authentic role and function, inadequate public realm, and traffic problems. The vision is for an inclusive, commercially and residentially diverse city with historical identity. The strategy focuses on revitalizing commercial areas, creating vibrant public spaces, and providing attractive housing options. It proposes interventions like improving pedestrian networks, developing new parks and plazas, and supporting social and economic development through affordable housing, markets enhancement, and office/accommodation development.
After its success in implementing “Smart Growth” capacity building modules conducted in the summer for planners from Palestine and Iraq, Ai is partnering with UNHABITAT on a new capacity building project. This project will deliver a series of multilayer interactive training modules aiming at building capacity for the Iraq Local Government Association (ILGA) and government officials who are involved in the urban planning efforts in Iraq.
The project‘s outcomes are compromised of two day training modules: The first module “Executive Training on Good Governance and Smart Growth Planning” is targeting the ILGA members. The other module “Smart Growth Planning”is targeting the government and municipal planning staff. Each module provides hands on experience and is adapted to some extent to the local Iraqi context. Each module also encompasses lectures, guest speakers, exercises, readings in Arabic, and site visits.
