Abstract
This report covers the American University of Beirut (AUB) participatory study to improve water and sanitation services in the Tebbaneh region, one of the poorest urban areas in Tripoli (Lebanon). Based on community surveys and comparative analyses, pilot interventions were defined and implemented, including replacing corroded water tanks in 19 buildings with new plastic water tanks on roof tops, and the replacement of water pipes in 4 buildings. A framework for sustainable urban development was established to guide current and future urban environmental planning specifically in the Tebbaneh areas, with potential scaling up and/or extension to other similar urban areas.
