Abstract
Cities urgently need effective policies and plans for strategic urban development that can slow down uncontrolled urban growth. Due to the implementation of numerous sustainable urban development policies throughout the Middle East over the past twenty years, sustainable urbanization is now more widely acknowledged. Some of these policies and methods have been found to be successful in improving the sustainability of cities. Amman’s plans to develop the city have been in the process like that of 2025 as a master plan, and these were drafted in 2006 and 2008. However, its growth has been affected by the issue of increased urbanization or urban/suburban sprawl, hence limiting sustainable development. The researcher used the analytical approach to mobilize the critical literature review, this paper has conducted a comprehensive study on the best practices of sustainable urbanization policies in the Middle East. Best practice methods and results have been identified. The results were also presented in different Middle Eastern regions in cities such as Cairo and Istanbul. Considering the effects of urbanization and urban sprawl and its mitigating measures, this paper can be regarded as foundational research in evaluating the relationship between policy implementation and urban environmental management. Future studies should investigate the impacts of urbanization on land use and land cover changes in the city of Amman and their effect on the environment.
