Summary:

"The book investigates spatial practices at the ground level of Beirut - Appropriation, Commoning, Production, and Activism - that fill the gap between the city's capital-driven development and the aspirations/needs of its inhabitants, in search for cohabitation and planning lessons that withstand chaos and uncertainty. Through such practices, the book reflects on the ground's project for collectivity reclaiming it as the backbone for co-producing the city"-- Provided by publisher.
