Dialogue
Background Information
PortCity Analysis
The Beirut PortCity Dialogue presents the views based on the concept developed by HPC, Colliers, and Fraunhofer IMW that might be required for the type and scale of the reconstruction of the port of Beirut.
The concept goes beyond the reconstruction of the status-quo, presenting a new opportunity to extend and further develop both the port and the inner city.
The next step is to prepare a detailed analysis for the individual areas, which we will also be provided hereunder "Analyses." If you want to stay informed about the latest uploads, you are welcome to subscribe to "Dialog News."

"What is in our hands today and within our reach is the opportunity to see Beirut offering again a livable space for each member of the society."

"It is about options for a transparent and independently run port for Lebanon's trade. And it is about bringing back a form of social cohesion through options for urban planning."

The dialogue starts with detailed and, at times, technical explanations of the initiators’ thinking. These are presented as a challenge to those who believe that this proposed development is on the wrong path. We invite others to critique the approach by way of substantive papers setting out the rationale for their alternative viewpoints. We will publish these different ideas on this web site as a basis for public discussion and debate.
