After four hundred years of Ottoman rule followed by a little over two decades as part of the French Mandate, Lebanon finally gained independence in 1943. In her translation and editing of the four books by Mohammad Fawaz, Director of Lebanon’s Directorate General of Urbanism from 1974 to 1993, Christine Mady provides a unique insight into the development and urban planning of Lebanon and its capital city Beirut from 1943 to the present day. Following a summary of the key events in Lebanon’s history and of Mohammad Fawaz’s career, her introduction describes how Fawaz’s books, published in 2002, 2005, 2010 and 2019 respectively, provide detailed analysis and assessment of the country’s planning system, its procedures, and management – from master plans to transport planning and building controls. She divides her translation and editing of his works into three parts: The Lebanese Urban Planning System, Laws, and Actors; The Role of Urban Planning regarding Lebanon’s National Resources and Capabilities; and Urban Planning, Transport, Housing, Real Estate, and Post-War Reconstruction. The book ends with a reflection on what has gone before, quoting the seven challenges which Mohammad Fawaz gives as contributing to the status quo of urban planning in Lebanon, and a survey of the situation today.

Public Space, Peace, and Everyday Life delves into the intricate relationships between public spaces, peace, and the rhythms of daily life. The book explores how peace is actively constructed in public spaces through the dynamics of place, community, and environment. Framed by the entry points of comfort, negotiation, and co-existence, it offers a compelling lens to understand the transformative potential of public spaces in fostering peaceful interactions.Providing a rich theoretical foundation and post-humanist methodologies to conceptualise the interplay between everyday life and public spaces, the book spans a wide range of disciplines, including urban studies, urban design, urban planning, human geography, urban sociology, anthropology, and urban ecology. This approach is examined through case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, to explain how peace is contextually embedded and constructed across diverse spatio-temporal scales. Readers will gain insights into frameworks for understanding public spaces, methodologies for exploring their dynamics, and reflections that bridge activism, research, and practice.This book will be of interest to scholars and professionals in urban studies, human geography, sociology, and anthropology, as well as urban planners, designers, and ecologists. By providing spaces that allow users in their everyday lives to move towards co-presence, collaboration and co-dependence, peace would emerge on an ongoing basis. By offering a multidisciplinary perspective, it equips readers with tools to critically engage with the role of public spaces in shaping peaceful and hopeful futures.
