 n qualities that are different from one group to another living within the
  same geopolitical boundaries. Aspects of diversity include religious beli
 efs\, ethnicity and race\, social status\, gender\, age\, physical abiliti
 es\, sexual orientation\, educational background\, job classification and 
 other dimensions. Jordan\, in the past two decades\, have received a subst
 antial number of refugees from the neighboring countries\, specifically\, 
 Syria and Iraq\, seeking a more safe environment\, and resulting the abnor
 mal growth in population. Refugees have been considered\, by both the gove
 rnment and public\, as a socio-economical and security burden causing the 
 increase of demand on the economy and infrastructural networks. They have 
 been also considered as a source of cheap and illegal labor adding to the 
 existing unemployment problem\, as well as consumers of subsidized service
 s and utilities\, such as school education\, transportation\, oil\, electr
 icity and water.   This presentation suggests accepting the reality of the
  “Refugees” and managing their diversity by introducing them as “Mob
 ile Stakeholders” with high potentials for inclusion with the “Nationa
 l Stakeholders” living in Jordan. The aim is to develop human and physic
 al environments by valuing the differences and maximizing the potentials. 
  This involves an intentional and active commitment to embrace difference 
 and create a sense of belonging for the purpose of achieving a commitment 
 to equity and justice\, cross-cultural understanding\, and the creation of
  respectful\, open communities\, where everyone has an opportunity to full
 y participate in creating success and where each is valued for his/her dis
 tinctive skills\, experiences and perspectives. These require more than to
 lerance\, acknowledgement of differences\, or awareness of others\, they r
 equire intentional dispositions and practices.    Yasser Rajjal holds a Ph
 . D. degree in urban design from the University of Glasgow\, UK\, with div
 ersified 30 years of experiences in architecture\, urban design and planni
 ng. His experience covers consultations\, design review and evaluation\, e
 ducational planning and training\, and management. He is the Assistant to 
 the President of the German Jordanian University (GJU). He was the foundin
 g Dean of the School of Architecture and Built Environment\, where he was 
 directly involved in the establishment of the School and its various under
 graduate and postgraduate programs in architecture\, design and visual com
 munication\, spatial planning\, and architectural conservation. He was als
 o the former Director of the Urban Studies Department in the National Reso
 urces Investment and Development Corporation\, where he was involved in a 
 number of major real-estate development and investment projects in Jordan.
  He is a special area consultant in urban design and planning for a number
  of consulting firms in Jordan and the region.
