Our guest: Camille Ammoun : “Beirut is a city that is fighting, a wounded city, a tired city”.

An expert in sustainable urban development, Camille Ammoun’s work aims at making cities more liveable and more resilient. He is also an author, who explores ways to address urban issues through literature. His latest book, Octobre Liban – which takes readers on a walk through the streets along the port of Beirut – is an uncompromising portrait of a city with a convulsive history. The story ends with the August 2020 explosion that destroyed entire districts of the capital and has caused lasting trauma to its inhabitants.
