| | "Beyrouth : reconstruire la ville, reconstruire la vie" | | Chadi Romanos | Thesis published in June 1996 by the Political Science Institute of Bordeaux (France) as a two years research work for a bachelor degree.
| | "A testimony of what Beirut used to be, as the basis for an analysis of what it could become... Solidere was just born then, and the economic crisis was not even underlying. Yet, it seemed to me that the roots of upcoming troubles were obvious. And 7 years later, the Lebanese have not even begun to rebuild their common space of living. The no mans land - the former green line" - remains so today, be it sweeter, cleaner, richer. Instead of a melting pot, the city center is nothing but a border between many worlds. The essence of a battlefield, in other words." His thesis offers an analysis of the following points: The Urban Inequalities in 1975, the Disappearance of the Center and the New Forms of Urbanization, The announced Renaissance of the Lebanese Capital, Beirut: the object of Debate." |
