These investment figures will be translated into a demand for land which we will use to plan our city’s needs in each sector.
For example, for Industrial Land use we need 3.38 dunums of land for every 1 million JDs of investment on average. Meaning that by 2025 we will need a total of 18,336 dunums of industrial land in the city.

Conceptual Metropolitan Growth Plan
Greater Amman Municipality
Metropolitan Growth Strategy
Plan for “Complete Communities” that provide residents with a full range of urban amenities – parks, schools, clinics, cultural centres –as well as good accessibility to employment, shopping and recreational facilities
Encourage compact urban growth in order to make the best use of existing services, promote increased transit use, improve pedestrian accessibility, and improve affordability both to GAM and and itsresidents
Direct growth to both existing built-up areas – in order to make the best use of existing services – as well as to designated new “greenfields” areas - located close to the Urban Core
Promote mixed-use in general, and a healthy mix of residential and employment uses in particular, in order to foster a diverse economy and to limit commuter times
Metropolitan Growth Plan: Smart Growth Principles
Greater Amman Municipality
Metropolitan Growth Strategy
Promote clear distinctions between urban, suburban, and rural communities in order to protect valuable environmental and agricultural lands and to support traditional lifestyles and tribal culture
Promote public transit - and develop a transportation system that offers residents transportation choices for going shopping, going to work, taking time off to relax or play, and getting back home again
Create a connected “Natural Heritage System” that protects and connects important environmental features - forests, wadis, highlands, deserts, and water aquifers - at the same time that it accommodates a network of public walking trails throughout the City

Airport Corridor: Vision
Current Situation:
• The Amman Airport Corridor is special
• Primary Spine of the Capital Region – linking it with the National Airport as well as the Amman Development Corridor
• Currently being completely reconstructed – with service roads on both sides - and planned to accommodate light-rail transit
• Queen Alia Airport is also being expanded from 3 – 9 million passengers
• The Corridor is under enormous development pressure to accommodate new residential, recreational, exhibition, shopping and media + entertainment facilities
Greater Amman Municipality
Metropolitan Growth Strategy
Airport Corridor: Vision
Our Vision:
The Airport Corridor is Amman’s Southern Gateway - providing the City’s residents with safe and easy access to recreational areas. It is being redeveloped as a major traffic and transit corridor that, at the same time, will remain “green” in character; linking designated development nodes defined by natural corridors – the lungs of the City – and creating new open spaces that will preserve and celebrate near-urban agriculture, conserve the Capital Region’s limited remaining forests, and complement anticipated new urban development within the Corridor.

Airport Corridor: Context
Metropolitan Context:
• The Airport Corridor will form an important part of the new Metropolitan Growth Plan for Greater Amman
• it is the most important of a series of Metropolitan Development Corridors that will provide primary access throughout the new Metro Area - as well as between it and the surrounding region
• it is special because it links the City with the Airport and thus serves as the major southern entrance to Amman
Greater Amman Municipality
Metropolitan Growth Strategy
Airport Corridor: Purpose
Purposes of Metropolitan Development Corridors:
• To provide connectivity between different transportation modes for moving both people and goods
• To link places of employment with places where people live and to provide access to a mix of metropolitan facilities
• To offer a balance of transportation choices that will reduce reliance upon automobile movement and promote public transit
• To encourage the most financially- and environmentally-appropriate transportation modes possible
Greater Amman Municipality
Metropolitan Growth Strategy
Airport Corridor: Concept Planning Principles Planning Principles:
• To accommodate a variety of land-uses including residential, commercial, institutional, employment and recreational uses, in urban areas – and appropriate institutional, commercial (e.g. farm markets), employment, and recreational uses (e.g. fairgrounds), in rural areas
• To accommodate a variety of transportation modes including automobile and truck traffic, public transit (light rail), and where feasible, cycling and hiking trails
• To ensure that the Airport Corridor does not create barriers between adjacent communities
Greater Amman Municipality
Metropolitan Growth Strategy
Airport Corridor: Concept Planning Principles
Planning Principles:
• To define clear edges, between urban, suburban and rural communities in order to preserve and protect valuable agricultural land
• To facilitate the continuity of natural heritage systems (e.g. the wadisand hilltops) – to create a green system that runs through the entire City - thus facilitating both human and fauna movement
• To create an appropriate image for, and entry into, Amman using appropriate highway design, landscaping, signage, and lighting
