Save The Date: Launch of Mina Public Space: 16 October 2019 🌟

#PublicSpaces can positively transform our cities 🌃 and bring communities 🤝 together. The well-being of citizens, including vulnerable groups, is directly influenced by the environment they live in.

When planning or redesigning our cities, ensuring adequate and inclusive public spaces, especially in very densely populated cities, become vital for urban life. 🌳 🎡🌷

Inclusive public spaces can also play a central role in the social and economic life of communities. They provide people opportunities to come together, engage with the community and foster social cohesion.

This is why, UN-HABITAT Lebanon 🇱🇧 is supporting the community of #Mina #Lebanon to implement a 10,000m2 #PublicSpace.

This space includes more than 4,000m2 of safe playgrounds, inclusive stroll paths for people who are physically disabled, tactiles for people who are visually impaired, and braille signage installed at all facilities, green areas for a healthier environment, and bins to have a cleaner space for all. 🗑

This inclusive public space is funded by the @Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation 🇨🇭 w/ in full support from the Mina Municipality, Tripoli.
