Amman, Nov. 30 (Petra) -- The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) launched on Sunday an intensive training program on the Cities Spatial Model, in cooperation with the International Growth Center (IGC), at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Oxford.
The program aims to equip GAM staff with advanced analytical tools that enable assessing multiple urban growth scenarios and integrating economic evidence and analysis into urban planning decisions in support of the Economic Modernization Vision.
In the opening session, Executive Director of the Public Transport Directorate at GAM Fadi Saqqa welcomed representatives of the IGC, the British Embassy's Economic Development Program manager, and participating GAM team members.
