Hamra Prosperity Index

Hamra is a socially and economically vibrant hub for cultural activities and one of Lebanon’s most diverse and cosmopolitan urban areas. However, despite having the reputation of an affluent neighbourhood with high-end residential towers, upscale hotels, and prestigious universities, Hamra also has residents who live in conditions of extreme social and economic vulnerability, including a significant number of Syrian refugees.

The Hamra Neighbourhood profile 

Together with UN Habitat, we have developed a Neighbourhood Profile for the Hamra neighbourhood of Beirut, an area located in the north-western part of the city.

 

The Hamra Neighbourhood Profile builds on a series of esteemed studies previously carried out by UN-Habitat in deprived neighbourhoods across Lebanon. It includes a detailed mapping of the quality of housing, public services, and livelihood opportunities, as well as an analysis of the impact of inequality on quality of life in Hamra.
