ملخص الرسالة
Many developed countries in Europe, Asia, and North America have turned to the Smart City system. This has been attempted by either retrofitting the established cities or creating new cities to provide their services instantly to citizens. Success stories of smart city projects have spread recently in various regions of the Middle East, and Amman is not among those successes.
This study explores the implementation of the global Smart Municipality concepts at the local level, Specifically, Greater Amman Municipality (GAM). This research went through two stages, namely a qualitative technique that included interviews with experts. Secondly, a case study in which four constructed projects in terms of smart city concepts were chosen in GAM to check the Smart Municipality Project Assessment Matrix (SMPAM) to show relationships between the challenges and the project areas.
The research results showed that GAM approaches the implementation of the global concept of Smart City in Amman. The executive committee for innovative solutions stated that the main dimensions that had been applied in GAM are city Mobility and Environment projects area. On the contrary, marginal regions in the adoption of smart projects are limited to living and social services.
According to the study results, Amman could become a smart city by 2030, so this research suggested a roadmap to implement the smart city concepts as a smart solution for local municipalities in Jordan.
