While talented Lebanese designers were dressing worldwide celebrities and invading haute couture catwalks in the international fashion weeks, Leban on’s apparel industry seemed to be fading over March 14, 2015 the past few years. This is certainly related to the country’s dwindling retail sector, which is one of the biggest contributors to Lebanon’s Contact Information growth, constituting near 13% of total economic activity in 20131. Research Analyst: Mirna Chami [email protected] Mirroring the economy’s path, and following 2 years of bearish activity, the apparel sector in 2014 revealed a stagnating to declining Head of Research: Marwan Mikhael performance that was associated to the country’s ongoing [email protected] instabilities and political stalemates.

Given this relationship, it is safe to say that the more dependent a store is on tourists the more likely they are to have witnessed a drop in sales. Accordingly, stores targeting a lower frugal local customer base were expected to have lost a slighter share of revenues than the upscale stores that are highly dependent on the Arab clientele.

Scenes that reflect how people move, congregate, pause, and adopt behaviors in the urban environment. These are the patterns that inspire our cityscapes. *** MOMENTUM OF PLACE, PEOPLE IN MOTION: CITY IN SCENES * SOLIDERE ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 1 * Foreword Characters make entrances and exits from the stage of reality just as cities trace the contours of civilizations through time. The currents of trade, conquest, and knowledge have, for millennia, propelled the history of the Mediterranean Basin. The people, architecture, and urban landscapes of its eastern port Beirut refract, like a prism, the stories that have accrued on this land throughout the centuries. Meditative and introspective, the Solidere Annual Report 2011 observes how people inhabit the spaces of Beirut city center. Just as the photography and text shed light on the trajectory of the built environment – its recon- struction, development, and future, so too does the Annual Report contemplate character and how individuals con- stitute architecture and place. Seasoned photojournalist Ziyah Gafic captures the latent dialogue between people and architecture. His camera turns quietly around the corner to eavesdrop on soft chatter in a garden. He peers up an outdoor staircase to follow the clacking of heels.
