How can the
cities and municipalities highlight the
connection between environmentally friendly thinking and economic growth?

The answer is to provide innovative and sustainable
policies, foresee problems, and come up with solutions before they happen to
cities, by developing the necessary infrastructure and having financially
feasible settings capable of resisting these infrastructural challenges.
The excellent infrastructure achieves multiple objectives.
The region is changing faster and more dramatically than ever before. As our
cities and people grow, so does our need for energy and resources.
Indeed, we are altering the balance and placing more strain
on our surroundings and future. Our ability to be adaptable, efficient, and
sustainable is hampered by existing infrastructure. We must adopt a new, more
caring attitude.
To guarantee cities' development and to be able to
promote innovation and enhance living standards independent action is not going to do
this.
Indeed, we are altering the balance and placing more strain on our surroundings and future. Our ability to be adaptable, efficient, and sustainable is hampered by existing infrastructure. We must adopt a new, more caring attitude.
It requires unprecedented levels of inventiveness from
planners, decision-makers, engineers, scientists, and other experts from both
the built and environmental experts.
And rather than focusing only on the tasks at hand, we must
consider what lies ahead to accomplish goals for the future empowered cities
and municipalities.
Better alternative through smart solutions
While experts may be tempted to seek out major
infrastructure solutions to the problem, more sustainable environmental
alternatives should exist through smart solutions. However, a well thought out,
long-term strategy draws on the expertise of many and is most crucially
sustainable.
Whether starting from scratch, rebuilding, or enhancing
existing networks and structures in well-established cities, stakeholders who
concentrate on these areas will successfully develop the necessary
infrastructure correctly.
Guaranteeing long-term sustainable goals
Multiple aspects must be considered, such as the flow of the
local population, environmental aspects, and taking in consideration economic
feasibility studies.
Malaysia
For example, let’s look to a successful infrastructure
strategy through Malaysia’s 1998 Asia Aerospace City (AAC). The AAC became a premier aerospace industry
hub, convention center, cutting-edge research and development facilities,
integrated office spaces, academic campuses, and residential areas will all
form part of AAC's smart city concept.
Why aerospace? All indications were that the Asia/Pacific
region's aerospace industry was set to grow faster than the rest of the world
market. The aerospace industry was identified as one of the new growth areas to
accelerate Malaysia's transformation into a high-income nation by 2025,
according to the pre-budget 2023 announcement.
Electrical and electronics (E&E), biomass, chemicals and
chemical products, pharmaceuticals, and the digital economy are among the other
industries. According to the Malaysian Aerospace Industry Blueprint 2030,
Malaysia wanted to be the leading aerospace nation in Southeast Asia as well as
an integral part of the worldwide market by 2030, with a projected annual
revenue of $12 billion USD, and the creation of over 32,000 high-wage
employment opportunities.
Five main aerospace industry subsectors
The blueprint covers five main aerospace industry
subsectors: repair and overhaul (MRO), aero manufacturing, system integration,
engineering and design services, and education and training.
Malaysia's aerospace industry also includes the drone and
space technology businesses, both of which are fast expanding. AAC’s
individuality distinct in two ways. First, its fully integrated portal connects
all components of the aerospace business in one area. In this regard, AAC's
nexus aims to be the aerospace industry's "Silicon Valley" in the
Asia/Pacific area.
There is an urgent need to link the objectives of the infrastructure with the national strategies, which bear the greatest burden in establishing investment based on establishing industries with an educational extension and having a long-term return, as Malaysia did.
In a nutshell, AAC will be the region's source of
concentrated knowledge and innovation. AAC thus provides a complete business
ecosystem by offering outstanding engineering solutions, industry-relevant
workforce, distinctive infrastructure, and government encouragement; for the
globe's biggest Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), it is a competitive
hub for manufacturing talent, economical connectivity, and assets. Governments
must implement policies right away to empower cities' social, economic, and
environmental fabric, by implementing a coordinated, long-term strategy for
infrastructure development and design depending on the experts.
There is an urgent need to link the objectives of the
infrastructure with the national strategies, which bear the greatest burden in
establishing investment based on establishing industries with an educational
extension and having a long-term return, as Malaysia did.
How Jordan can improve
Jordan refers to projects such as electric cars, which
constitutes a promising market in the region, but unfortunately, there are no
indications of that.
It needs more than an investment policy, but rather an
overlapping of education, manufacturing, specialized vocational training, and
attracting local and international expertise in this field.
Experts must
simultaneously maintain a thorough understanding of the project's long-term
objectives: expanding investment potential through over-site development and
increasing accessibility to the city for additional people which is fundamental
to the business case.
More comfortable, strategic transport hubs in Jordan are
needed by breaking out of our silos and thinking out of the box with the
industrial sector to create integrated solutions and measures for future
cities.
