This document summarizes a research project assessing the impact of urban development projects in Jordan on local residents. The research will analyze perceptions of development at the macro, meso, and micro levels. It will use surveys, focus groups, and interviews to gauge how inclusive planning initiatives have been from the perspective of specific interest groups and whether local needs have been met. The results are intended to provide the first analysis of inclusive urban planning in Jordan and lay the groundwork for future comparative research in the Middle East. The project timeline is June 2010 to May 2011.
