This report briefly reviews central and local GoJ initiatives to zone and map land in Jordan
for industrial use. The primary concern of government regarding industrial land use is to
ensure land is appropriately allocated among competing users, i.e. residential, commercial,
industrial and agricultural while minimizing the environmental, infrastructural and social
impact of land use. The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) has successfully developed a
long-term land use master plan for the city, including an industrial land policy. The newly
established Amman Institute is applying its experience at GAM to promote urban planning
excellence throughout the region, including industrial zoning programs in Irbid, Zarqa and
Salt. The GAM industrial land policy has identified three areas in Amman to accommodate
new and existing industry with sufficient space to meet demand for industrial land for likely
another fifty years.
