Weather of Arabia - The new city project within the borders of the capital Amman has become the talk of Jordanians, after what was announced by the Prime Minister on Wednesday

It is estimated that the city will accommodate one million people upon its completion, as the aim of its establishment is to accommodate the population increase, especially in the cities of Amman and Zarqa, in light of what some cities suffer from clear overcrowding in population numbers, and thus affecting the level of services provided, which raises the resentment of Jordanians

Main features of the city

The consulting company "Dar Al-Handasah" concerned with the project, for its part, designed the basic features of the city over the past ten months and is waiting for the green light from the government to start work on it, as it will be built on lands wholly owned by the state treasury

The city of Al-Muwaqar will be built to the east of the Muwaqar area, and its total estimated area after its completion is about 277,000 acres, and it is about 40 kilometers from the center of the capital Amman, 33 kilometers from Queen Alia International Airport, and 26 kilometers from the city of Zarqa

A modern smart city. The first phase of the project starts in 2025 and ends in 2033, while the last phase of it ends in 2050

The first phase aims to establish a modern smart city that relies on a high percentage of clean energy and accommodates about 157,000 people

According to the government’s announcement, the new city project was first proposed in 2017, but circumstances have prevented its completion so far, including the Corona pandemic and its consequences.

The government referred the study on the new city project to the Economic Development Committee for discussion and consultation with relevant parties and experts, provided that the committee returns a detailed report to the Council of Ministers within a month to study and decide on it.
