Description
Description | The Second Urban Development Project is part of the Government's long-term program to provide shelter for poorer urban dwellers. It aims at improving the living conditions of low-income people in the Amman region by providing shelter at affordable prices without subsidy to ensure the project's replicability; encouraging sound growth patterns through stimulating urban development in appropriate locations and at lower infrastructure cost than under traditional practice; and strengthening institutional capacities in Jordan to undertake low-income shelter and urbanization projects. The project includes the following major components: (a) upgrading two low-income squatter settlements that house about 4,200 people; (b) servicing land in four sites for about 3,400 plots with initial occupancy by about 24,00 people; and (c) providing technical assistance to the UDD for project design, project planning and supervision, studies and advice on management and financial issues. |
