Opis

There is a fundamental conflict between globalization and local management in our community. It is mandatory to have a good understanding of the demographics and environmental background of the community in order to achieve the desirable and practical changes during the urbanization process. We share our experience during such process in the city of Tripoli, Lebanon. During this process, communication issues were a great challenge that we had to deal with. The aim of this study is to establish a balance and create a harmonious link between the human side and the process of globalization in Lebanon, in order to provide a smooth transition during the change process. Finally, we give an executional example in the Engineering discipline including historical considerations, photos and plans of the rehabilitation of Old Tripoli, Lebanon, which became reserved as a universal city at The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
