What are the land zoning classifications in Jordan?

Answer

Jordan's land is classified into six primary categories: (1) Residential (Sakani) — A, B, C sub-classifications based on density. (2) Commercial (Tijari) — for retail, office, and mixed-use. (3) Industrial (Sina'i) — manufacturing and warehousing. (4) Agricultural (Zira'i) — farming with limited construction rights. (5) Tourism (Siyahi) — hotels and recreational facilities. (6) Nature Reserves — protected and non-buildable. Within residential zones, Class A allows the highest density (urban apartment buildings), Class B allows moderate density, and Class C is low-density (villas). The classification directly determines the building coefficient and maximum height.
