Description
Summary:This paper studies the context of the implementation of sustainable development oriented urban transport and mobility policies, since the 2000s. It aims at bringing new elements in the discussion on how globalization and neoliberalization processes affect cities of the global South. It insists on Amman municipality’s active role and strategy in mobilizing international “best practices” and actor networks. The paper also underlines the plurality of the territorial scales involved in these policy transfers, between the city branding issues at the regional, even international level and the affirmation of the municipality’s territory and competencies at the national level. Finally, it describes the important contestations that are shooking the implementation of these policies, which became a field for power-based territorial conflicts.
