The Data-Driven Built Environment Research Group establishes strategic partnerships that enhance research capacity, expand methodological capabilities, and ensure practical impact. Through active collaboration with government agencies, professional organizations, cultural institutions, and academic partners, the group addresses complex challenges in architecture, urban planning, heritage conservation, and sustainable tourism.

​Government and Public Sector Partnerships

• Ministry of Public Works and Housing – Collaboration focuses on housing policy analysis, building performance assessment, and smart infrastructure development. Partnership provides access to national building datasets and construction permit records for evidence-based housing policy research.
• Greater Amman Municipality – Joint initiatives on urban data analytics, neighborhood resilience assessment, and participatory planning frameworks. The partnership includes access to GIS datasets, urban planning documents, and opportunities to develop data-driven decision-support tools for municipal planning departments.
• Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities – Joint research on sustainable tourism planning, visitor experience analysis, and cultural landscape management. Partnership provides access to tourism statistics, heritage site management data, and field sites for testing community-centered tourism development models.

Professional Bodies and Industry Partnerships

• Jordan Engineers Association (JEA) – Formal partnership supporting continuing professional development programs, evidence-based design standard development, and research dissemination through the JEA knowledge platform. Collaboration facilitates practitioner engagement in research activities and implementation of computational design methods in professional practice.

Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism Partnerships

• Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA) – Research collaboration on visitor management systems, heritage site carrying capacity analysis, and sustainable tourism framework development for Petra Archaeological Park.
• Local Community-Based Tourism Initiatives – Partnership with community organizations in heritage villages such as Dana and Umm Qais, focusing on participatory tourism planning, traditional building conservation, and economic impact assessment of heritage tourism.​
