Traditionally, the buildings of Amman had a unified human scale that primarily consisted of cubic buildings ranging from one to four stories in height. This scale is being greatly compromised as a result of the advent of the high-rise buildings.

The city is currently experiencing rapid growth that is reshaping the ancient city into a commercial hub. New projects and proposals in and around the city include The Abdali Downtown project, The construction of the Jordan Gate Towers near the 6th Circle, which is nearly completed,The Heights Tower, consisting of 35 floors, will house apartments and it is currently under construction by DAMAC Properties and the Limitless Towers which will be the tallest in Amman and consists of two identical 65 floor buildings connected by a pedestrian walkway that will house the world's highest swimming pool.The project will be built in `Abdun.[1]
