However a resource it does have is many hours of sunshine. This has enabled people to use solar power for heating water and more recently to use PV panels to produce electricity. The leadership of the country and in turn the Municipality is encouraging the use of renewable technologies both for the national grid and for personal use .

The government of Amman is constrained in acting, as building codes and policies are set at the national level.The city focused on encouraging participation in green building through avoluntary density bonus program linked to the Jordan Green Building Guide published in2013 by the Jordan Green Buildings Council. Certified green buildings are totally or partially exempt from fees according to Amman'sBuildings and zoning law in 2019. The incentiveprovides a ‘Density Bonus’ in the form of anadditional percentage to the original floorarea ratio (FAR). As an additional incentive,building applications are free of charge.

Deteriorated streets and sidewalks have affected the social cohesion of the neighborhood and cut services to residents. In some areas, there has been exposure to hazards, such as flooding and soil pollution.Pilot areas in East Amman have been selected to showcase green urban design and infrastructure. The two projects, one called "Improving living conditions in disadvantaged areas of Amman" and the second called "Cash for Work" are being financed by GIZ and will add green space, rehabilitate sidewalks and stairs and use green infrastructure to improve drainage. Communities will also be involved in the design and planning of the space to ensure that it meets their needs.Benefits include improved access to transportation, improved walkability, access to public green spaces, improved stormwater drainage, reduced flooding, preservation of biodiversity, soil stabilization and reduction of pollutants.
