Аннотация. В последние десятилетия все большую актуальность приобретают вопросы, касающиесяреконструкции и восстановления городов, пострадавших в ходе военных конфликтов. В данномисследовании проанализированы методы и опыт в восстановлении исторических городов на примере Бейрута в Ливане, которые отражают арабскую и сирийскую региональную специфику. Данный опыт реконструкции может быть применим для ряда сирийских городов, в частности Дамаска, поскольку территория современного Бейрута исторически являлась частью Сирии и развитие города проходило через схожие исторические этапы, проблемы и другие общие характеристики. Изучение градостроительных решений и политики, которая была использована при восстановлении Бейрута, пострадавшего в ходе военных конфликтов, может быть полезно в вопросах восстановления исторических городов Сирии. В ходе исследования были выделены несколько направлений градостроительной политики в области реконструкции зданий, восстановления планировочной структуры города, освящены исторические этапы развития планировки и архитектуры города Бейрута, стратегия реконструкции исторического центра Бейрута, описана современная часть города, которая не принадлежит к архитектурному стилю Средиземного моря или архитектурному стилю государства Ливан, что приводит к потере архитектурной самобытности города Бейрут. Были выявлены результаты, которые могут быть использованы в реконструкцииисторических городов региона. Данные и методы. В исследовании был проведен ретроспективный анализ, использовались градостроительные схемы Бейрута различных периодов (римского, исламского и современного). Проводились исследования современного состояния объектов культурного наследия и фотофиксация.Проанализированы результаты реконструкции и адаптации объектов культурного наследия и восстановления планировочной структуры города. Вопросам изучения региональных особенностей архитектурно-планировочной структуры исторического города Бейрут посвящены работы Рауль Ассаф, Лилиан Баракат, Бахос Валид, Баланше Фабрис, Фаур Галеб, Эрик Хюйбрехтс, Эрик Вердейл Джабер Мунзер. Однако вопросы формулирования региональных принципов реконструкции и восстановления планировочной структуры исторических арабских и сирийских городов остаются малоизученными. Полученные результаты Целью данного исследования является анализ особенностей формирования планировочной структуры Бейрута, а также оценка решений по ее реконструкции. Город Бейрут прошел через многие этапы развития, и мы сосредоточимся на восстановлении центра Бейрута. Abstract. In recent decades, issues relating to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of cities affected by military conflicts are becoming increasingly important. This study analyzes the methods and experiences in the reconstruction of historic cities on the example of Beirut in Lebanon, which reflect the Arab and Syrian regional specificity. This reconstruction experience can be applied to a number of Syrian cities, in particular Damascus, because the territory of modern Beirut has historically been part of Syria and the development of the city has passed through similar historical stages, problems and other common characteristics. The study of urban planning solutions and policies that have been used in the reconstruction of Beirut, which was damaged during the military conflicts, can be useful in the reconstruction of historic cities in Syria. In the course of the study several directions of urban planning policies in the reconstruction of buildings, the restoration of the planning structure of the city, the historical stages of the development of planning and architecture of the city of Beirut were highlighted, the reconstruction strategy of the historic center of Beirut, described the modern part of the city, which does not belong to the architectural style of the Mediterranean Sea or the architectural style of the Lebanese state, which leads to the loss of the architectural identity of the city of Beirut. Results have been identified that can be used in the reconstruction of historic cities in the region. Data and Methods. The study conducted a retrospective analysis, used Beirut's urban planning schemes of different periods (Roman, Islamic and modern). Studies of the current state of cultural heritage sites and photographic fixation were carried out. Analyzed the results of the reconstruction and adaptation of cultural heritage sites and the restoration of the planning structure of the city. The study of the regional characteristics of the architectural and planning structure of the historic city of Beirut are devoted to the works of Raoul Assaf, Lilian Barakat, Bahos Walid, Balanchet Fabrice, Faur Ghaleb, Eric Huybrechts, Eric Verdail Jaber Munzer. However, the issues of formulating regional principles for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the planning structure of historic Arab and Syrian cities remain poorly understood. Findings The purpose of this study is to analyze the features of the formation of the planning structure of Beirut, as well as to evaluate solutions for its reconstruction. The city of Beirut has gone through many stages of development, and we will focus on the rehabilitation of downtown Beirut.

Full textAbstract:
Advanced producer services firms and the highly skilled labour they employ are important indicators for world-city formation, as their activities allegedly grant cities the capabilities to exert command and control over global accumulation processes. To ‘stress test’ this central assumption of global city theory, we apply Burawoy’s extended case method to probe world-city formation in Beirut, Lebanon. Observing a tendency in the literature to superimpose distinctions between high- and low-skilled labour and between North and South, the study marshals a more plural conceptualization of ‘professionals’ to include expatriate or transnational Lebanese service workers. The study’s key finding is that Euro-American professionals play a relatively marginal role in Beirut’s human resource base, complicating North–South distinctions. By contrast, domestic and expat Beiruti professionals are far more crucial in manning circuits of value leading to and from the city. These professionals act as intermediaries in unlocking Gulf markets for clients, contribute to institutional change in their host countries and help build command and control functions elsewhere. Relatedly, Beirut has become susceptible to processes of ‘expatriate world-city formation’, where real estate development and the attraction of bank deposits are partly the result of these APS-professionals repatriating their management fees into Beirut’s built environment and Lebanon’s domestic banking sector. Witnessing the growth of Beirut's expatriate world-city functions in absence of financial centre redevelopment, the paper proposes to be sensitive to potential disconnects between the function and location of command and control in global cities more generally.

Full textAbstract:
“Switzerland of the Middle East” and “the oriental Paris” are some of the names that the beautiful city of Beirut had earned before the disasters of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). This historical event is considered the most important one in the contemporary history of Lebanon, not only because it marks the end of a difficult peaceful coexistence among the various ethnic and religious groups during the period between the Independence (1943) and the beginning of the conflict (1975), but also because it made radical geopolitical changes to the entire region. At the end of the “Swiss epoque”, the city of Beirut begins to undergo a series of transformations in terms of urban planning, landscape, etc. This paper aims to study the literary representation of Beirut during the conflict, taking as examples two authors, one Lebanese, Elias Khuri, who shows, in his novel The Journey of Little Gandhi, the irrationality of war and its effects on the city and on the inhabitants; the other one is the Italian writer, Oriana Fallaci, who describes in his novel Inshallah the experience of the Italian contingent in the peacekeeping mission in Beirut. Despite the considerable differences between the two authors, the papers shows the narratives’ affinity which highlight the transformation of Beirut, the image of its citizens and the problematic of the assimilation process between them and their city.

Full textAbstract:
In Lebanon, the social connections are undeniable and crucial. However, meeting places remain private such as houses, restaurants, malls, and beach resorts. This is mainly due to the shortage of public spaces in Lebanon resulting from lack of planning, regulations and awareness around the right to the city and the importance of public spaces. In main cities where land prices are so expensive, common practice has prioritized the use of land in real estate development, thus trumping other uses such as public and communal spaces.In the late 1990s, Lebanon saw the emergence of malls, which have arguably acted as alternatives to public spaces. Malls, with their wealth of food courts, restaurants, cinemas, and play areas, have become the new downtown for a portion of the Lebanese population. They are also considered safe, which is another important factor.In 2015, the percentage of green spaces in Lebanon has decreased to less than 13%. While the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of 9m2 of green space per capita (UN-HABITAT, 2016), Beirut has only 0.8m2.

This paper aims to explore the peculiarity of the pandemic in stateless communities. Through a case study from a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, we analyse how Palestinian refugees were affected by and responded to the pandemic. We find that the legal exclusion of refugees from the state protection has generated invisible mobility, which further increased the risk of spreading the virus. Refugees have founded their own community response mechanisms of food sharing and crowdfunding. They established Aman medical centre in the camp, which has become a destination for infected, yet undocumented, residents of the city. We conclude how Palestinian refugees used this invisible mobility to save other refugees, therefore proving how refugee camps can become spaces of rescue in times of global emergency.&nbsp;

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore perceptions, perspectives and meaning of quality of life for a sample of older residents, care staff and family caregivers in two nursing homes in Lebanon. Design/methodology/approach A classic grounded theory study was conducted between 2010 and 2011 in two nursing homes in Beirut. The semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a theoretical sample of 20 residents, 8 family caregivers and 11 staff. The constant comparative method was used to analyze the data. Findings Three distinct but interrelated properties of quality of life emerged from this process: “maintaining self,” “maintaining identity” and “maintaining continuity”. The dynamics that exist within and between each of these properties provide an indicator about shared and distinct meanings and the implications for care practice. Research limitations/implications The study was conducted in one city in Lebanon; accordingly, the transferability of findings may be challenging. Practical implications Implications for nursing and nursing policy – improving Lebanese national standards and regulations applicable to nursing home residents may help to enhance residents’ care needs and quality of life. Social implications There was limited guidance aimed at helping older residents to voice and increase their choice and control. Originality/value This paper provides new insights into the process of outlining the properties attached to the phenomenon of quality of life in nursing homes in Lebanon. It will be of interest to those in nursing home care as well as to policy makers.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘palimpsest’ refers to medieval manuscripts that have been multiply erased and inscribed with the overlapping texts of successive scribes. More recently and amongst academics, the term has become a metaphor for describing the city, including both the physical urban form as well as memories and experiences of everyday urban life. The palimpsest offers a way of thinking not only about urban transformation, where new and repurposed structures exist alongside the old, but also changes in how the city is experienced, or how life stories are written upon and rewrite existing spaces. This paper focuses on the latter. Though the palimpsest metaphor has been used to describe material transformations of the urban, the question that this paper raises is: how can the notion of the palimpsest inform methodological approaches to researching how the city is lived and seen? Collaborative, digital storytelling that combines images, narration, and sound can provide a method that emphasises the polyvocality and multi-temporality that the term palimpsest implies. A palimpsestic approach to digital storytelling, as a visual and narrative method, gestures at places as open to future readings and inscriptions. This is relevant to all cities, but perhaps most obviously in cities where historical narratives, memories of violence, and questions over the future political direction of the country in which the city is located are all highly contested. To illustrate these points, this paper draws upon research conducted with young people in Beirut, Lebanon as part of a wider study about how youth experience citizenship and belonging in divided societies.

Full textAbstract:
Rapid urbanization combined with the effects of climate change has increased the vulnerability of poor urban communities to natural hazards, particularly to informal settlements located in coastal areas. Apart from socio-economic challenges, the effects of climate change threaten the very existence of these settlements. They are particularly vulnerable due to their poor structural quality and lack of adequate infrastructure to mitigate the consequences of any natural event. The article highlights an informal settlement belt, located on the coastline of the southern suburb of the capital Beirut. This area is an example of a complex urban, social, and economic structure. As a result, this research speculates on the possible sustainable design solutions and tested development strategies through urban, architecture, and landscape design proposals, derived from interventions that succeed in facing similar challenges compatible with the studied context. The aim is to advocate for comprehensive consideration and transformation of coastal informal settlements that can be used to encourage neutralizing the obvious challenges of climate change in urban settings. Therefore, planning specifications and quality aspects for future coastal informal settlements are proposed and extracted. The research involves analysis of qualitative data rather than quantitative data, as there is not much definite information available in terms of statistics, such as review of publications and grey literature. The scope of the study ranges from microscale improvement to providing usable and accessible city-wide ecological urban settings and sustainable spaces with new standards for coastal informal settlements as a potential backbone.

Full textAbstract:
This interview is part of a longer conversation that independent researcher Mayssun Soukarieh conducted with Rosemary Sayigh in Beirut during the summer of 2008. Sayigh, an anthropologist, oral historian, and researcher, was born in Birmingham in the United Kingdom and moved to Beirut in 1953, where she married the Palestinian economist Yusif Sayigh. She earned her master's degree from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 1970 and was awarded a PhD from Hull University in Yorkshire in 1994. Since coming to Beirut fifty-six years ago, Sayigh has dedicated her life to writing and advocating for the Palestinians in Lebanon and elsewhere. She is the author of two groundbreaking books: Palestinians: From Peasants to Revolutionaries; A People's History (Zed Books, 1979) and Too Many Enemies: The Palestinian Experience in Lebanon (Zed Books, 1993). Although these conversations focused on Sayigh's scholarly work rather than her personal history, it became clear that the two are inextricably linked.

This thesis applies the concepts of urban design, public transportation planning, economic development, and sustainability, to the routing and site plan of a two-kilometer bus rapid transit (BRT) line segment into downtown Beirut, Lebanon; linking a 20- kilometer BRT corridor to the region's core. Previous routing of the segment, which used typical transportation engineering processes produced routes that would degrade the line's quality of service and/or the adjacent land uses. While one route was preferred, none were compelling enough to be advanced to the next planning stage. This thesis explores the possibility that, by expanding the criteria, the route selection and design process can be used to determine an alignment that not only supports high quality transit service, but leverages the capital investment in public transportation to improve environmental quality, economic development, community livability, and transit network connectivity in the areas it serves. In turn, the inclusion of these factors should aid in successful BRT implementation by broadening the base of supporters, and by acknowledging and catering to the physical, social, and political complexity of the project and the project area, substantially increasing project benefits. The project identified a broad range of routes, and the primary institutions and constituencies affected in order to develop an alignment and site programming method to optimize support. Using public transportation infrastructure improvements as a catalyst and a mechanism by which to improve other aspects of the urban system, if successful, should not only improve the implementation likelihood, but also create greater incentives to continually expand the transit system.

Full textAbstract:
This research emerges from the author's observations and from concerns shared by many local and international architects, urban designers and planners about policies and strategies adopted to reconstruct the city centre of Beirut following the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). Post-war reconstruction needs to be seen as a process that carefully restores and preserves the urban fabric as well as culture and heritage, and it should not be perceived as continuation of war by different means. A major postulate of this thesis is that post -war reconstruction is not just a physical phenomenon and needs to follow a holistic perspective that fulfils people's needs, perceptions and values. In other words, it is the unification of four attributes: the physical, socio- cultural, perceptual and functional attributes. Public space imbued with these attributes, in which they have interrelated relationships perceived through the transactional perspective to be a holistic phenomenon. Space can be used to guide the ongoing process of post -war reconstruction, as well as the natural evolution and transformation of the environment. The research assumes that shared identity, cultural continuity and collective memory can be achieved through the transaction of people in the space. To fulfil the thesis objectives, theories and principles on public space are reviewed and examined. A contextual review of the war and post -war period of the city centre of Beirut uncovers major concerns regarding its reconstruction policies and strategies. Public opinion and preferences are elicited using an open -ended questionnaire. Cognitive mapping is also used to examine the collective memory of people about the city centre and its spaces. A comparative spatial analysis is also employed to identify changes in accessibility and integration levels between the pre and post -war spaces. The consequence of the research outcome confirms that public space, through the transaction of people, provides the principles, qualities and meanings that respond to the authentic cultural forces and shared values of people, and the civic character of the city, which existed before the war and can still be seen shaping life today. The thesis, however, follows a logical progression of four interrelated parts. These are: Part One includes two chapters. Chapter One reviews a wide spectrum of literature on urban design principles. Chapter Two introduces attributes of public space. Part Two comprises two chapters. Chapter Three focuses on reviewing the historical evolution of the old settlement of Beirut and its spaces, while Chapter Four outlines the implications caused by the civil war and its post -war reconstruction. Part Three introduces the empirical work of the research in three chapters. Chapter Five reviews and analyses the questionnaire survey responses and results of 37 respondents. Chapter Six analyses the cognitive maps of the respondents using Lynch's five elements of The Image of the City. Chapter Seven presents the spatial analysis of the city centre of Beirut using space syntax (visibility graph analysis technique). Part Four is the concluding chapter. Chapter Eight examines the research findings and restates the thesis approach by proposing a framework for implementation and outlining its major characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Nous narrons la toponymie de Beyrouth, considérée comme partie intégrante de l’idéologie du corps politique du Liban, installé à Beyrouth depuis 1920. Nous commençons par une réflexion sur les rapports entre centre politique, ses principes fondateurs, et toponymie: l’inscription toponymique est l’insertion ultime du politique dans l’aménagement. La toponymie beyrouthine inscrit le Grand-Liban (1920), et la Constitution libanaise (1926), sur les cartes. Elle inscrit le confessionnalisme politique résultant du Pacte national (1943) et ses symboles « sacrés », ainsi qu’une présence confirmée des « Orient » et « Occident » et un récit national libanais partiellement réinventé et présenté « en continuité ». Elle présente les signes d’une continuité urbaine visible. Nous mettons l’exemple beyrouthin en perspective avec ceux de Damas et de Dubaï : le premier est « réécrit » avec l’avènement du Baath en 1963 et présente une rupture toponymique avec le passé syrien pré-baathiste, ainsi qu’une présence triomphaliste du panarabisme; et le deuxième inventé afin de donner une profondeur historique à la carte de l’émirat et une dimension commerciale à ses noms des lieux. L’étude des inscriptions toponymiques, en parallèle avec les principes fondateurs du centre politique, permet d’approfondir la connaissance des systèmes politiques, leurs idéologies, et leurs politique d’urbanismeI narrate toponymy of Beirut, considered as a revelator and a marker of the Lebanese body politic, constructed in Beirut since 1920. This memoir begins by reflecting on the rapports between the centre politic (capital city or seat of government), its founding principles, and toponymy : the toponyme is the ultimate insertion of the political in everyday’s banality. Beiruti toponymy writes the Grand-Liban (1920), the Lebanese Constitution (1926), on the city’s maps. Also it inscribes political confessionalism, resulting of the Lebanese National Pact (1943) and its sacred symbols, thus a confirmed presence of « East » and « West » and a Lebanese national narrative partially re-invented and presented as a « continuum ». It also presents signs of a visible continuity of the local elite. We put the Beiruti example in perspective with those of Damascus and of Dubai : the Damascene one is « re-written » by the Baath rule since 1963 and presents a toponymic rupture with the Syrian pre-baathist past but a confirmed presence of pan-Arabism; the Dubaian one is invented in order to give a historical depth to the map of Dubai and a commercial dimension to its place names. Study of toponyms, in parallel with that of founding principles of the centre, can inform political systems, their ideological background, and their urban policy

Full textAbstract:
Dans le but d’accompagner les décideurs libanais dans le choix de réformes des politiques publiques en matière d’environnement pour une prise en compte de la biodiversité dans les projets urbains, l’ambition de cette recherche est d’étudier l’opportunité de transposer des dispositifs existants en matière d’aménagement durable en France vers le Liban. Ainsi, l’objet de cette thèse est d’analyser l’intégration progressive de la biodiversité dans les documents de planification. Il s’agit d’identifier des pistes transférables au Liban avec la méthode du Benchmarking. Cette approche est complétée par l’observation des réformes institutionnelles et des modalités de mise en œuvre de l’action publique. Le développement des dispositifs transférables au Liban nécessite d’avoir un diagnostic partagé par tous les acteurs, car le contexte libanais est différent : plusieurs contraintes limitent l'élaboration d’une planification durable et efficiente. Néanmoins, définir un projet co-porté par tous requiert des décideurs l’adoption d’une vision stratégique du projet urbain. Ce processus passe par une phase concertée où une démocratie citoyenne participe et s’implique afin de mobiliser tous les acteurs. D’une part, on a introduit l’indice végétal permettant d'évaluer la qualité environnementale d’un projet urbain. D'autre part, on a modélisé le concept de la Soft city où la nature se trouve à toutes les échelles de la ville, en vue de l’appliquer à Beyrouth. Pour faciliter son expérimentation, on a élaboré des guides méthodologiques et des référentiels de suivi et d’évaluation à destination des acteurs concernés afin de saisir l’intérêt de la mise en œuvre des outils et des concepts innovantsWith the aim of supporting Lebanese decision makers in the choice of public environmental policy reforms to take into account biodiversity in urban projects, the ambition of this research is to study the opportunity of transferring existing mechanisms of sustainable development in France to Lebanon. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze the progressive integration of biodiversity in the planning system. It is about identifying transferable actions to Lebanon with the Benchmarking method. This approach is complemented by an observation of institutional reforms and the implementation modalities of public action. The transposition of mechanisms to Lebanon requires the implementation of diagnosis shared by all stakeholders because the Lebanese context is different : many constraints limit the development of sustainable and efficient planning. Nevertheless, defining a co-led project requires decision makers to adopt a strategic vision of the urban project. This process goes through a concerted phase where a citizen participation involved. As for the mobilization of the stakeholders, it is based on the proposal of innovative approaches that were formulated theoretically and empirically. On the one hand, we introduced the concept of green index allowing stakeholders to assess the environmental quality of a project. On the other hand, we have modeled a city concept, called Soft City, where nature is everywhere in the city, with a view to applying it in Beirut. To facilitate its experimentation, methodological guides and monitoring and evaluation frameworks were developed for the concerned stakeholders in order to encourage them to implement the innovative tools and concepts

Full textAbstract:
This chapter emphasizes the importance of Beirut in conditioning the historical and intellectual emergence of the modernist poetry movement, not only because of the city's suddenly central and yet anomalous place in the intellectual life of the Arab world, but also for its nodal position in the global history of modernism during the early Cold War. It focuses on the antagonistic nature of intellectual exchanges during the period, particularly as seen in literary magazines and journals of opinion. If, as Robert Scholes and others have argued for the European case, “modernism begins in the magazines,” then the same is profoundly true of the Arabic movement. Intellectual life in Beirut was not so much a playground as a battleground, and this war of position extended beyond the borders of Lebanon. The debates between local intellectuals—nationalist, Marxist, and liberal—reflect the global agon between the main ideological camps of the early Cold War.

Full textAbstract:
A few lines before the end of The Tiller of Waters, the protagonist, Nicholas Mitri, wakes up after his death in a void. Once he orients himself, he realizes that this void is actually the center of Beirut that he has inhabited alone during the 1975–1990 civil war and that he has been desperately trying to narrate and preserve throughout the novel. Mitri, a Greek Orthodox man from the predominantly Muslim West Beirut, had been forced out of his house by Shiite Muslim refugees from South Lebanon who had, in turn, been displaced by an Israeli invasion. Homeless, he drifts to his father’s textile shop in downtown Beirut, the contested battle zone between Christian East and Muslim West Beirut. There, he lives alone like Robinson Crusoe in the wilderness of the city center and recounts his family’s story and the history of the different peoples and religious groups that inhabited his life and the prewar city. The house where he lived with his Greek Alexandrian parents and with the Kurdish maid he loved, the shop owned by a Sunni Muslim next to his father’s in the bazaar of downtown Beirut, and the parlor where his mother was trained by an Armenian piano teacher are all eventually wiped out—not by the war but by the reconstruction project. The void, at the end of the story, represents the futility of his efforts to preserve the places. The buildings and streets, it turns out, are more fragile than the memories that inhabit them. The civil war that entrapped Mitri was triggered in 1975 by disagreements between Lebanon’s Christians and Muslims over the presence and power of the Palestinian militias in Lebanon. The war would briefly stop in 1977, with the intervention of Arab forces led by Syria, only to be resumed again, this time with the participation of the Syrians on the side of the Palestinians and Muslims. When the Israelis invaded Lebanon in 1982 to support the Christians and expel the Palestinians, the war took on an international scope with a failed American and European military intervention.

In ReFocus: The Films of Jocelyne Saab, 235–46. Edinburgh University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474480413.003.0016.
Full textAbstract:
Jocelyne Saab’s first feature film A Suspended Life (1985), tells the story of a teenage girl whose family finds refuge in an abandoned palace in Beirut. Saab’s own home was initially supposed to serve as film set, but it was destroyed on the first day of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in June 1982. Its ruins appear in the opening view of Beirut My City (1982), a documentary shot during the siege of the Lebanese capital that lasted until the evacuation of the Palestinian forces, 21 August 1982. This chapter proposes to read Beirut My City and A Suspended Life as a diptych. The first, a documentary, is a prequel to the second, a fiction. The second, produced during a lull in the war, includes rushes from the first. Both pieces take an abandoned dwelling as the point of departure for an exploration into the urban territory of West Beirut.Besides their existence as acts of resistance and invaluable documents for a critical period, these films question the relationship between life and death, and between the image and the cadaver, three decades after Blanchot’s reflections in The Space of Literature.

Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter begins with a brief description of the popularity of the Bab al-Hara café in south Beirut, an area often maligned in the U.S. press as “the Hizbullah stronghold” and known in Lebanon as Dahiya. The café exemplifies many of the shifting features of leisure in south Beirut, and highlights many of the new ideas and practices of morality as well as geography that have emerged in this Shi'i-majority area of the city over the past decade. The chapter suggests that these cafés provide new spaces for leisure that are promoting flexibility in moral norms. The circumstances that both new spaces and desires for leisure provoke highlight tensions between religious and social notions about what is moral. An overview of the subsequent chapters is also presented.

Full textAbstract:
The HMM for intelligent cities transformation projects (iCTP) (or simply projects) uses a natural language development (and simulation) environment that can be adopted by any project and for that goal the authors propose to use the holistic intelligent cities design concept (HICDC). The HICDC is supported by a central decision-making system (DMS) and enterprise architecture (sub)projects (EAP). The proof of concept (PoC) is based on the resources collected on the city of Beirut, capital of Lebanon, where the central point is the transformation process of a war-torn city into a modern, agile (relatively, in respect to the region), civilized, and automated intelligent city. Such projects are managed by intelligent city transformation managers (iCTM).

Deeb, Lara, and Mona Harb. "Good Taste, Leisure’s Moral Spaces, and Sociopolitical Change in Lebanon." In Leisurely Islam. Princeton University Press, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.23943/princeton/9780691153650.003.0007.
Full textAbstract:
The preceding chapters showed how ideas about morality, space, and place come together to create specific forms of leisure for more or less pious Shi'i Muslim residents of south Beirut. Choices about leisure activities and places are informed by different moral rubrics, as people negotiate social norms, religious tenets, and political loyalties. Pastimes and their settings are assessed according to ideas about where they are located and how their patrons behave—ideas built on assumptions about the relationship between morality and geography in the city. Yet how and where a person hangs out is also an expression of personal taste. This chapter brings taste into the picture and discusses how Dahiya's new leisure sites and practices are valued along with how judgments about class, morality, geography, and politics work together to produce ideas about taste and social hierarchy. It concludes by thinking through the question of whether changing leisure practices and spaces can lead to broader social, political, and urban change.

Full textAbstract:
The fourth chapter explores a span of civil violence in Beirut, Lebanon where the emphasis is about recognizing physical space as an immutable condition of violence and its afterlife - a condition that prolongs the emplacement of embodied experiences of violence in the social texts of suffering. For a city/nation that was organized around strictly defined neighborhoods of confessional communities, the onslaught of continuing violence inscribed itself onto these neighborhoods and marked them into territorially bounded places, literally transforming the ideal of a multicultural urban space into a patchwork city of confessional emplacements, which often led to extreme hostilities. The infusion of faith- based identity and experience in the density of a city scarred by violence, the afterlife here considers emotions of lost urban ideals and anxieties of destabilized cosmopolitanisms that are made acute by the memories and anticipations of devastating hostility.
