I’ve been managing this urban upgrading project since Jan 2019. This video shows briefly the great achievements of the project at the #human and built environment levels. These were seen in the enhanced #social cohesion between all community groups and improved living conditions.
In #Maraach, Bourj Hammoud 5 alleyways have been transformed to be more safe and #accessible4all. 🏙️
Watch the⬇️video for a glimpse of how this @UNHABITAT 🇱🇧-led project upgraded the area.

Last week, @UNHABITAT + @CityOfBeirut’s Municipal Social Cell participated in @urban_migration’s “Migration, local stakeholders + inclusive cities in the Mediterranean” event in Tunis to discuss the #MSC - established to mitigate social + protection issues of Beirut’s residents.
Check out this exciting project led by a social department that I’ve established under Beirut governorate through funding from #eu and #sdc. This Beirut Municipal Social Cell aimed at mitigating social and protection issues encountered by vulnerable populations within Beirut!

I’ve been working on this project since January 2019! I’m so happy to finally see the full transformation of this sub-neighborhood where the residents have now better access to basic services, safe and inclusive spaces, and better job opportunities due to skills development! 🇺🇳

When we first visited the neighbourhood, the residents were suffering from lack of access to basic services - mainly water and electricity - and safe public spaces, weak socio-economic situation, deteriorating built environment, and lack of safety and security conditions.
@UNHABITAT strives to translate communities' needs into actions!
Glad to see the transformative change in the neighborhood of Maraach, #Lebanon 🇱🇧, making urban services adequate & accessible to all. Well done @UNHabitatLB with the support of @polskapomoc & @PCPM_Liban
Super excited about this project! 🇺🇳🇱🇧
