Options of Reconstruction

After determining the aforementioned goals of reconstruction, researching for the best options that accomplish these goals was a must. It is noteworthy that several researches and thoughts were discussed at the time, and most of these thoughts were based on the caution, patriotism, and chivalry for the area and its people. These options are as follows:

Ownership of real estates and collapsed buildings, and financial compensation to their owners to buy alternative residential units until further schemes are put and constructed in a specific constructional vision.
Rejoining and sorting the real estates, and moving some buildings and structures vertically, allowing further expansions of public places (sidewalks, roads, green spaces...).

In a thorough analysis of these two options, and after consulting the owners in question who refused both options, an alternative option must be found to achieve these goals that agree with the owners wants to return to their homes, jobs, and neighbourhoods they were accustomed to. Thus, the decision of restoring everything to what it was came in the following regulations:

-To abide by the laws enforced, especially the law of public safety.
-To keep the real estates as they were previously.
-To keep the number of floors, the jobs in each floor, and the various purposes of usage (residence, trade, organizations...).
-To keep the main and secondary roads, bystreets, and the crooked paths in neighbourhoods and between buildings.
-To work on treating the problems of traffic jams through ensuring the biggest number of car parking possible and organizing pedestrian movement.
-To allow the owners participation in the reconstruction process, and take their thoughts and concerns into consideration.
-To work on providing some green spaces.


In this framework, provided that all stages of reconstruction were performed in coordination with the owners, the owners had the choice of reconstruction within these regulations or to authorize Waad Project in reconstruction. A high percent of owners chose to authorize Waad Project for their trust in the party that adopts this file and their agreement with the general vision that it placed for reconstruction.
Therefore, in order to achieve the aforementioned goals within the regulations placed, the general framework of the project was put in coordination with Haret Hurreikh Municipality. Upon this, consultation staffs of known Lebanese engineers were formed to place the mechanisms needed to accomplish the vision agreed upon.
