Beyrouth : Presses de l’Ifpo, 2019. 128 p. Ebook After fifteen years of reconstruction in a relatively peaceful environment spanning the years 1990 to 2004, Lebanon has experienced successive violent political events resulting from complex entangled internal and external struggles.

Analyses processed on aerial and satellite images have produced essential data on urbanization and environment. Local thematic fieldwork surveys have provided additional data. The book consists of seven chapters. The first one deals with the territorial state-building seen in the light of regional geopolitics, and emphasizes internal violence and the reemergence of militias and armed groups… OpenEdition Books License https://www.openedition.org/12554 Geography cartographie migration géopolitique fragmentation pauvreté urbanisation dégradation environnementale inégalité régionale changement climatique mobilisation sociale pénurie d'eau pénurie éléctrique crise des déchets urbanisme reconstruction réfugié gestion locale décentralisation cartography refugees migration geopolitics fragmentation regional inequalities poverty urbanization environmental degradation pollution climate change natural risks water shortage electricity shortage solid waste crisis city planning reconstruction social mobilization local spatial management decentralization planning controversies Faour, Ghaleb Hamzé, Mouin 978-2-35159-747-7 Verdeil, Eric https://books.openedition.org/ifpo/13178 Atlas of Lebanon 15060 15060
