Badaro : Urban dynamics and socio-economic development of a neighborhood in the city of Beirut Badaro: dynamique urbaine et développement socioéconomique d'un quartier de la ville de Beyrouth

Description :

The objective of this research program is to contribute to the understanding of the socioeconomic changes and development of Badaro district, in the city of Beirut. The project will define the functions of the districts of Badaro, a peripheral neighborhood in Beirut, and one of front-line sectors during the 1975-1990 war. Today, the district has become one of the recreational centers of the Lebanese capital. The project will conduct a multidisciplinary study in order to understand the new functional mix in Badaro, the dynamics and the logics that may influence the strategies of various actors within the neighborhood. This requires an in-depth analysis of the morphological, functional, economic and social space. The study of this neighborhood should ultimately enable us to better understand how conflictual areas in Beirut may become crucial for the economic development of the city.
