respect for diversity and dialogue. Graduates will be individuals committed to creative and critical thinking,

Under the Twinning Arrangement programme the American University of Beirut-Beirut Urban Lab and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy hosted a series of selective meetings with stakeholders with the objective of informing public policy making and research agendas in Lebanon. The Beirut Urban Lab worked collaboratively to support local land governance processes in Beirut and to advocate for a better management of land beginning with a rigorous assessment of property taxation and land regulation systems.
