Arab Renewable Energy Commission (AREC) and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local

According to a statement issued by AREC on Sunday,
Krishan, AREC Secretary-General Mohammad Al-Taani, and AREC Administrative
Director Kamel Dagamseh met in preparation for the seventh International
Investment Forum for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, which will be held
in Amman in late October, with wide Arab and international participation.
Sustainable cities contribute to preserving the
environment, recycling water and waste, establishing independent power stations
powered by renewable energy sources, providing job opportunities for the
Jordanian youth, contributing to economic recovery, and serving local
communities in all areas of life.
The area of sustainable cities should accommodate up
to 25,000 sustainable housing units, with a modern, sustainable architectural
style that matches the geography of the region, and provide transportation by
electric buses, energy-saving central heating and air conditioning systems,
electricity poles, charging stations for electric cars, and independent power
stations, according to Taani.
“Jordan is considered the investment gateway to the
Middle East region due to its geographical location and the legislation that
stimulates investment in the fields of renewable energy,” Taani said, adding
that there is a global trend to preserve the environment by focusing on smart
cities, with the aim of curbing the assault on agricultural lands and
indiscriminate building.
