Over recent decades it has experienced unprecedented population growth, rising from 50,000 residents in the 1940s to nearly four million today. This extraordinary rate of change has resulted in fragmented development which was\u00a0further hindered in 2010\u00a0after the\u00a0city was hit by a catastrophic storm causing tragic loss of life and extensive damage.<\/p>\n<p>With the aim of\u00a0revitalizing\u00a0the city, AECOM was appointed to create the Jeddah Plans, a framework for sustainable and balanced future growth. In partnership with Amana, AECOM is delivering\u00a0plans\u00a0 that will redefine the city\u2019s future, creating a series of well-connected centres and a network of quality open spaces, with improved access to amenities and public transportation.\u00a0Operating on a huge scale, the project involves a record number of stakeholders to consult, critique and reach consensus on a new path forward for Jeddah.<\/p>\n<p>The Jeddah Plans invest in ensuring the prime location of metro stations, encouraging residents to decrease their dependence on cars and giving them improved access to amenities and jobs. The creation of a people-friendly public realm is also critical\u00a0to the\u00a0success of the plans.<\/p>\n<p>AECOM\u00a0is providing\u00a0the following services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strategic planning<\/li>\n<li>Governance<\/li>\n<li>Spatial and urban planning services<\/li>\n<li>Landscape and environmental sustainability<\/li>\n<li>Infrastructure services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":19696,"template":"","tags":[],"city":[304],"class_list":["post-19694","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","city-jeddah"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/19694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/19694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19694"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=19694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
