CASE STUDY AND PROJECT PROPOSAL
Case study
Amman, the administrative capital of Jordan is the most modernized Arab city have one of the
best sustainability practices towards their social issues. However it has been observed that the
capital city has developed some of the issues of public transportation system. These issues are
related to higher congestion and traffic jams with the increase of the total number of private cars
on the streets (Alnawaiseh et al. 2015). In addition to this there were issues associated with
mobility and safety issues of the city which has escalated the problem of public transportation of
Jordan. However being the most modernized global city of the Arabian region, it has undertaken
number of steps in the recent past in order to target this specific issue (Alnsour 2016). For
example, it has been highlighted that the city has undertaken the construction of new roads at the
initial; years even though it has not been a sustainable practice for long. Hence it is important to
look into other options it has undertaken for the issues of sustainability. It has develop number
of alternative modes of public transportations like the increase in the total number of bus which
can connect the major cities of Jordan within the gap of two to four hours. In case of the
transportation charges, it has been kept low as 1$ USD (Farhan et al. 2019). Another measure it
has undertaken is the higher availability of taxis at a very low cost which is sufficient for the
daily passengers to commute within the city. It has also increased the total number of buses and
taxis within the affordable ranges (Farhan et al. 2019). Even though the strategy of dealing with
inadequate public transport is different from one another, it is important to note that there are
combines action plans developed by the global cities for the purpose of road infrastructure
expansion. It also has undertaken number of initiatives like the development of taxi system
within the feasible limits.

The case of Sydney is one of the unique cities which has the huge population close to 5 million
and it is also one of the diverse cities of the southern hemisphere. It has been observed that
Sydney at p[resent is facing one of the challenges of affordable housing to public transportation.
Resilient Sydney is one of the policy initiatives undertaken in order to enhance connection,
communication and collaboration (Dunford et al. 2017). As part of the analysis of the issues, it
has been observed that the idea of resilience is the ability of the people, communities to survive
in the urban city life. Moreover it has also been observed that the issue of inadequate public
transport is something that is impacting the lives of people on a daily basis. It has been noted
that challenges of overcrowding and congestion is one of the key factors for the rising issues
survival of people in Sydney. In addition to this, it has also been seen that the development of the
transport planning has developed being independent of the urban planning which has led to the
density of train and metro system however not quite in sync with the required design. While the
scrapping of all the terms have been one of the mistakes that has led to the reduction of total
number of public transportation for people in Sydney (Farhan et al. 2019). People in the other
European counter have been able to substantiate the process of parallel transportation along with
the trams and trains. The change in mode of transportation and the over dependence on private
cars in the past has been one of the issues that reduced the dependence of people on public
transport. Some of the challenges that Sydney is facing currently are: large dependence on
private cars and over crowing and congestion of the major parts of the city (Jrew. et al. 2019)
