Region

North Governorate

This governorate includes a significant number of state-owned properties (4,278 plots), and 23% of its area is fully or partially planned. According to the recommendations of the NPMPLT, it is supposed to be given a privileged position in maritime transport, industry, tourism, international exhibitions, and higher education.

Region

Beirut Governorate

This Governorate has the lowest number of state-owned properties (1284 plots), and it is the only fully planned Governorate. It is considered the economic, social, cultural, and political center of Lebanon, and according to the recommendations of the NPMPLT, the objective would be to search for qualitative rather than quantitative development of its qualifications, such as better organization of existing functions and enhancement of living conditions.
