Skyscrapers as Tools of Economic Reform and Elements of Urban Skyline: Case of the Abdalı Development Project at Amman

Gökdelenlerin çevre sakinleri ve yatırımcılar tarafından gücün ve ekonomik güçlülüğün sembolü olarak algılandığı Ürdün’de, yakın zamanlarda ekonomik durumun iyileştirilmesi amacıyla yabancı yatırımcıyı teşvik edici bir ekonomik reform süreci başlatıldı. Bu makalede Amman kent merkezi yakınlarındaki Abdali bölgesinin yabancı yatırımcılar elinde gelişen kentsel dönüşüm (kentsel yeniden oluşum: urban regeneration) projesi, önerdiği yeni gökdelenler ve bunların kentin silüetine olan katkıları açısından değerlendirilmektedir.
