<p>Many cities around the world encompass informal settlements that share significant challenges, including poor housing quality, social exclusion, insufficient open green spaces, and inadequate infrastructure networks, among others. This case study introduces urban acupuncture and the livable cities approach within a proposal for the urban rehabilitation of Mohammad Amin Camp, an Informal settlement in the capital city of Jordan, Amman. Within its methodological framework, the study employs a qualitative research methodology, conducting field observations and direct interaction with the local community and analyzing existing documents to investigate the impact of a targeted intervention to enhance the camp’s physical, environmental, and social conditions. This study primarily focuses on investigating how community-oriented design strategies and targeted urban acupuncture interventions can address the community’s specific needs within key social nodes to enhance overall livability and promote sustainability. The case study’s findings highlight the potential of incorporating some principles of livable cities through the urban acupuncture approach to transform informal settlements into sustainable urban contexts and create resilient communities. The case study demonstrates the potential effectiveness of specific small-scale interventions such as green infrastructure, pedestrian-friendly streets, and community participation in improving the quality of life in the camp. This case study research contributes to future initiatives to develop similar informal settlements by analyzing the challenges and opportunities associated with the proposed rehabilitation process.</p>
