Jordan’s PM inspects Amra city infrastructure work
The Amra City Project is a long-term urban development initiative aimed at managing population growth, attracting investment, and providing sustainable living solutions for future generations, according to an earlier statement from the Prime Ministry.
Planned over 25 years, the city is designed as a model urban area rather than a new administrative capital, following directives from His Majesty King Abdullah in the Letter of Designation. The project aims to relieve demographic pressure on Amman and Zarqa, whose combined population could reach 11 million within the next 25 years if current trends continue.
Amra City is being built on nearly 500,000 dunums of state-owned land, with the first phase covering 40,000 dunums. The Jordanian Company for Urban and Facilities Development will oversee implementation, with construction set to start early next year and some components expected to be completed within two years.
The city will feature a comprehensive land-use plan, including zones for investment, education, commerce, industry, services, housing, and tourism. It is envisioned as a green, technologically advanced city with clean energy, modern public transport, and digital infrastructure.
The first phase will include major projects such as an international exhibitions and conferences center (completion scheduled for 2027), an integrated sports city with an international football stadium (2029), an Olympic city with indoor arenas, a car-racing track, a 1,000-dunum environmental park, and an entertainment city (expected 2028).
Other components include commercial and service areas, an educational city, a technology hub supporting educational investment, and expanded cultural facilities, including an extension of the Royal Automobile Museum.
