Adopting a “compact city” planning approach (e.g. developing within the urban boundaries (i.e. infill development close to jobs and public transport) as opposed to rapid urban expansion on the fringes which will add to more transport and infrastructure needs) could lead to a reduction in GHG emissions by 13.8% in
Adopting a “compact city” planning approach (e.g. developing within the urban boundaries (i.e. infill development close to jobs and public transport) as opposed to rapid urban expansion on the fringes which will add to more transport and infrastructure needs) could lead to a reduction in GHG emissions by 13.8% in Amman (compared to BAU); 11.5% in Irbid; 6.3% in Mafraq; 2.9% in Russeifa; and, 2% in Zarqa. In addition to GHG benefits, the models also show substantial cost savings for municipalities.
