Khirfan and Momani 
Amman Institute for Urban Development stated 
that ‘ the citizen needs to emancipate from 
the individuality and from treating their city 
individually because the city accommodates 
everybody and not just one person ’ (Focus 
group with the Amman Institute planners, 
12 December 2010). 
This emphasis on Amman ’ s contemporary 
identity – both the positive and negative aspects 
of it – contradicted Amman ’ s previous brands 
as an historic and Arab-Islamic city. During 
their interviews, the Syntax team relayed how 
they were compelled to urge the GAM offi cials 
to embrace Amman ’ s contemporary identity 
without dismissing its 10 000-year history. Armed

a signifi cant component of Amman, they do 
not themselves defi ne the city ’ s contemporary 
identity.

groups that we conducted for the purposes 
of this article between December 2010 and 
January 2011, our participants repeatedly 
referred to specifi c characteristics that they 
valued most about Amman. Specifi cally, the 
respondents highlighted Amman ’ s climate and 
geography; its diversity; its resilience, initiatives 
and entrepreneurship; its intimacy and 
connectivity; and lastly, its stability and safety 
as a city that enjoys higher levels of freedom 
than neighboring Arab capitals (several focus 
groups held in Amman between December 
2010 and January 2011). Furthermore, 
one of the questions in our on-line survey 
questionnaire asked the respondents to rank 
fi ve photographs according to their perception 
of what represents Amman. The majority of
