Unlocking Equitable Mobility: The Gender Action Plan is a collaborative roadmap for promoting gender equality in mobility throughout the city of Amman, the plan will support and guide the existing policies that promote gender equity and provide new actions to meet its equality targets in 2025 and 2030, respectively. These actions will range in scale, theme, and duration for each sector and will be specifically tailored to be easily implemented. The Action Plan adopted an evidence-based approach to explore the impacts of mobility on female users and their exposure to stress while commuting, then explores three implementation scenarios: the first one is an existing and planned action scenario titled: Business As Usual Scenario for Implementation (BAU) and an ambitious action scenario titled: 2030 New Baseline for Equity (NBE) and lastly an extended scenario titled: 2030 Extended Scenario for Equity (ESE).

Exploring Urban Mobility and Spatial Justice: Unveiling Hidden Narratives: With an interdisciplinary approach, we bridge disciplines to drive urban change aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our publication, 'Urban Mobility and Spatial Justice of Amman,' explores the unique experiences of female transit users and minorities in developing countries. We illuminate hidden narratives through careful research, striving to reshape policies and environments for inclusive urban mobility.

Exploring Innovation in Climate Action: This publication explores the innovative approach of Amman, Jordan, in addressing climate action through integrated urban planning strategies. By leveraging urban densification, transit corridors, and housing initiatives for displaced populations, Amman has developed a metropolitan integration model that revitalises downtown areas, enhances peri-urban services, expands transit options, and promotes deliberate decarbonisation.

Understanding Economic Inequalities through Informal Economies: AZHJ led a project to map the informal economy in East Amman, conducting over 300 interviews to gather insights and identify innovative strategies within the informal sector. We focused on COVID-19 responses and sustainable livelihoods, performing spatial mapping and GIS analysis to visualize activity clusters. This project aligns with UNDP’s broader goal to empower informal economy actors and foster inclusive, green development pathways. Utilising sensemaking, we aimed to challenge existing perceptions, ensure inclusive development, and identify resilient business models, leveraging the efforts of UNDP’s Accelerator Lab and innovation teams for transformative change.
