Thus, it promotes a renewed approach to urban development, both integrated and sustainable, but also agile and participatory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">AVITEM favours consultation and involvement of all potential stakeholders in the project at the various stages of its development. From co-design to co-production, this participative approach appears to be a sine qua non condition. It is justified both by the necessary democratization of urban action and its recognized beneficial effects on territorial cohesion, and by the strength that the creation of synergies between actors and the convergence towards common ambitions give to the project.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">Furthermore, AVITEM prefers an iterative and agile method, based on an <i>in itinere<\/i> evaluation of the project process and on a continuous dialogue with local actors, in order to be able to reorientate the project, rather than a linear approach following the sequence of diagnosis\/guidance\/program. This approach makes the choice of the scenario to think the development of the territory, in order to be reactive and in phase with its opportunities and its evolutions in the long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">Thus, the medium and long-term planning exercise no longer appears to be contradictory to the reflection on concrete and immediate solutions. AVITEM&#8217;s approach links the elements of the diagnosis and the main orientations that should guide development with short and medium-term operational interventions, in order to support the implementation of projects that are driving territorial transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">Current projects&nbsp;:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">&#8221;&nbsp;Bourj Hammoud 2021-2031&nbsp;&nbsp; : cooperation with the Municipality of Bourj Hammoud for the production of a Strategic Urban Renewal Plan<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #201f1e; padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext;\">&nbsp;&#8221;&nbsp;Bourj Hammoud 2021-2031&nbsp;is a decentralized cooperation project initiated by the Municipality of Bourj Hammoud and supported by the Delegation for the External Action of French Communities (DAECT) and French local authorities&nbsp;: the South Provence Alpes C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur Region and the Nice C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur Metropolis. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\">The Agency for Sustainable Mediterranean Cities and Territories<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"> is leading the project and coordinating the project management.

It stands out in the Greater Beirut area because of its dense productive and creative economy and its unique history, from which its Armenian identity stems. The city was founded by Armenian refugees at the beginning of the twentieth century who fled the Ottoman Empire. They created many shops, workshops for craftsmen and artists, theaters, giving life to an intangible heritage and a rich commercial activity, which has long endured in Bourj Hammoud and forged its reputation in Lebanon. The commune has also welcomed many waves of immigrants &#8211; Palestinians, Syrians and others &#8211; making up a real cultural mosaic today.
