Omar Maani, Mayor of Amman


We had the opportunity to meet with Oman Maani, the mayor of Amman.
This forward-thinking individual presented a summary of the growth plan for the city. This city has been growing over the past years and has felt a impact on transportation and other services. The vision is to blend the natural and cultural heritage with modern urban development. We each were presented with a book that shows Amman with photos through the eyes of Jordan's youth. A favorite photo is of a man with the caption: People are more the spirit of a place than the buildings built in it. This is true for Amman and for Jordan.
Tomorrow awaits.
