Mission
The Amman Institute for Urban Development (Ai) is a not-for-profit institution, a regional think-anddo-tank with a focus on urban governance, community planning and sustainable community development. It has a staff of over fifty (50) professionals in many fields associated with community development.
Established by the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) in June 2008, the Institute operates not only to serve GAM, but also to advance the work in the urban governance at the local and national levels, tackling issues of land management, physical planning, public policy, and civic leadership, tourism development, environmental management, and others. The Institute believes in global thinking that is adapted locally to suit the needs of the citizens, and to reflect their visions and aspirations.
