the disasters are numerous and repetitive, what is needed is awarness and education to the people that cannot break free from sectarian feudality ...

We need another Ottoman empire .. Funny that Beirut had all the charm from their Era, the french refused to "develop" the country !!! I ll try to dig out the documents i had about the architecture of Beirut ...
Like CPL said some posts back, don't expect corporations to have moral values, let alone care for heritage or patrimonial assets. It has nothing to do with feudalism or sectarianism.

In every country in the world, corporations think basically the same way, here in Lebanon, we expect the government and officials to hold those corporations accountable whereas it's up to the people as moral agents to make both their government and corporations accountable.

Don't be fooled by the Ottomans or any colonial entity Genius, they also destroyed many shrines and historical landmarks at the time and not only in Beirut. The French pretty much exported their own colonial architecture all over the world.
