Community-based Urban Garden at Queen Rania Al Abdullah Park (Amman, Jordan)
Amman, Jordan · Operator: アンマン市（Greater Amman Municipality）／UN-Habitat ヨルダン／UNEP
Overview
A project turning part of a large Amman park into a residents' garden. It is framed around three goals — raising green cover in the city, softening climate-change impacts and improving food security — and creates a place where residents and Syrian refugees cultivate together. It sits within the municipality's 2022–2026 strategic plan to establish 12 parks across the capital.
Citizen participation
Local residents and Syrian refugees garden side by side. The project is framed around income generation, economic empowerment and building ties between residents and local institutions.
Operating model
A public project launched on 6 October 2022 by UNEP and UN-Habitat Jordan in partnership with the Greater Amman Municipality, positioned as a pilot for expanding sustainable urban agriculture across residential neighbourhoods.
Impact
An example of opening public park space to resident food production in water-scarce Amman, deliberately designed so refugees and host residents cultivate the same ground. It is reported against the SDGs on zero hunger, decent work, reduced inequalities and climate action.
