GWU Students Compete in C40 Reinventing Cities Competition

The site is located on Al-Istiqlal Street, Amman, Jordan, near the Royal Hashemite Court and AlNasr district. Atelier Wadi proposes a green development that merges the existing uses with an organizational system that will make the development practical for existing businesses, existing residents, neighboring residents, and tourist activity while integrating flood mitigation and safe mobility for all.

The promenade, intersecting with existing roads, will serve pedestrians, bike riders, and help identify key locations for programs/activities. Equity and Integration
