In partnership with the «Social Justice and the City» program at the American University of Beirut, Public Works Studio organized a consultative meeting and workshop titled «Towards Affordable Housing and an Inclusive City» at the Issam Fares Institute. The meeting was based on the findings of our research project «Mapping Beirut through its Tenants’ Stories», which studied the housing situation in six neighborhoods of Beirut. The objective of the meeting was to kickstart a discussion on the possibility of creating affordable housing options in Beirut while also safeguarding the existing housing in the old neighborhoods.
Policy experts and partners were invited to develop policy recommendations and build a foundation for working towards affordable housing in the city.
