In 2021, Diwanieh — an initiative founded by Dr. Sami Hourani — organized a public dialogue event in Amman under the title:

“Could Amman Become a Green City?”

The event focused on discussing environmental sustainability, urban planning, and the future of green development in Jordan’s capital. The dialogue explored ways to create a more environmentally friendly city through sustainable infrastructure, green spaces, public transportation, and community-driven environmental initiatives.

The session brought together urban planners, environmental experts, engineers, and members of the community to exchange ideas on the challenges facing Amman as a rapidly growing city and the opportunities for building a healthier and more sustainable urban environment.

The event featured several distinguished speakers, including:

  • Engineer Shada Al-Sharif
  • Engineer Hanna Salameh
  • Engineer Suha Al-Shishani – Greater Amman Municipality
  • Engineer Rima Odeh – Greater Amman Municipality

The discussion highlighted the importance of sustainable city planning, environmental awareness, and cooperation between public institutions and local communities in shaping a greener future for Amman.
