Regional Planning in Jordan, the Status Quo - Regional Planning in the Jordan Rift Valley

Hanin I. Shuqair, Dania Abdel-Aziz

Abstract


This paper is intended to examine and research a new way of planning on the Jordanian ground, regional planning, a planning approach proven to be highly effective globally on multiple levels but unfortunately not widely practiced in the Arab World. This research paper tries to examine how the area of the Jordan Valley is being administered regionally, and attempts to breakdown and discuss the different elements of this process in a critical manner. Outcomes of the reserch indicate mainly that although this planning approach is implicated to a certain degree; still it is seen as being more sectoral in nature.

Keywords: Jordan Rift Valley, Regional Planning, Dead Sea, Master Plan, Sustainability.
