Tactical urbanism and responses to protracted displacement in the city of Amman, Jordan Environment & Urbanization 36(2), Oct, 2024: p.377-400 This study seeks to understand the working dynamics through which Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) responds to the challenges of protracted displacement in the city, focusing particularly on the concept of “tactical urbanism” (TU) as a tool and framework. This could be broadly useful to key actors in reconsidering response strategies, strengthening the role of local administrations. The research adopted a qualitative data collection and analysis framework via participatory forums and key informant interviews, steered by guiding research questions. Findings reveal the presence of interconnected multi-scale limitations, opportunities and roles that determine GAM’s response towards displacement and constrain its ability to act within a comprehensive planning rationale. Instead, GAM is driven towards TU as an alternative approach that mitigates these determinants and offers a means for more responsive, constructive action. It is argued that TU affords a more agile response towards displacement, enhancing community engagement, innovation, resilience and identity.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09562478241277078 Amman, Penetrated displacement, Syrian deluges, Tactical urbanism. 50243 Environment & Urbanization AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 403892 IIPA IIPA 2025-01-21 36(2), Oct, 2024: p.377-400 AR134992 2025-01-21 AR
