Traditionally, the buildings of Amman, Jordan had a unified human scale that primarily consisted of cubic buildings ranging from one to four stories in height. This scale is being greatly transformed as a result of the advent of the high-rise buildings.
The city is currently experiencing rapid growth that is reshaping the ancient city into a commercial hub. Projects and proposals in and around the city include: the Abdali Project and the construction of the Jordan Gate Towers near the 6th Circle.
