For the War Yet to Come: Planning Beirut's Frontiers
written by Hiba Bou Akar, fl. 2011 (Palo Alto, CA: Stanford University Press, 2018), 264 page(s)
Beirut is a city divided. Following the Green Line of the civil war, dividing the Christian east and the Muslim west, today hundreds of such lines dissect the city. For the residents of Beirut, urban planning could hold promise: a new spatial order could bring a peaceful future. But with unclear state structures a...

Beirut is a city divided. Following the Green Line of the civil war, dividing the Christian east and the Muslim west, today hundreds of such lines dissect the city. For the residents of Beirut, urban planning could hold promise: a new spatial order could bring a peaceful future. But with unclear state structures and outsourced public processes, urban planning has instead become a contest between religious-political organizations and profit-seeking developers. Neighborhoods reproduce poverty, displacement, and urban violence.For the War Yet to Come examines urban planning in three neighborhoods of Beirut's southeastern peripheries, revealing how these areas have been developed into frontiers of a continuing sectarian order. Hiba Bou Akar argues these neighborhoods are arranged, not in the expectation of a bright future, but according to the logic of "the war yet to come": urban planning plays on fears and differences, rumors of war, and paramilitary strategies to organize everyday life. As she shows, war in times of peace is not fought with tanks, artillery, and rifles, but involves a more mundane territorial contest for land and apartment sales, zoning and planning regulations, and infrastructure projects.

The Cold War turned hot in the middle of the 20th Century. In 1950 the North Korean army launched an invasion on their countrymen in the South; signaling the beginning of the Korean War. The Soviet Union would support North Korea's Stalinist regime, while the US and its allies rallied behind the South, in an attempt to hold off the Red Threat. Millions of civilians would be killed or injured during the conflict, and cities would be destroyed. The war would reinforce the separation between communism and capitalism ideologies, and Korea, formally united, would remain divided for generations to come.

"Sharon, when it comes to the essence, represented the policy of all Israeli governments only without obscuring fluff or evasive words. The reliance on naked, brutal power when dealing with the Palestinians, using provocations and short-sighted tactics, Sharon was back in the 50s when those methods were generally accepted and even applauded. Sharon has shaped the map of Israel and the territories, changing it almost to the point of no return. Ever since the 1973, Yom Kippur War, he was compared to Napoleon, a comparison he accepted with grace. There is a historic theory that claims that every revolution ends in Bonapartism, the arrival of the populist adventurer who destroys the achievements."
