A closer look

This project focuses on personal efforts to clean, rehabilitate, and plant open, abandoned public green spaces along an old railway track in Beirut. The aim is to encourage soil restoration and promote the use of neglected public areas for greening and community benefit.

The result is the establishment of green public corridors created without permanent structures and without conflict with local authorities — a low-cost, replicable model that returns forgotten urban land to residents as a shared, living amenity.
