Tripoli is the most deprived city in Lebanon. With high poverty rates, a history of sectarian and social conflict, rapid population growth intensified by the influx of refugees and rural-tourban migration and inadequate basic urban services, the city urgently needs to formulate effective response mechanisms to reduce urban poverty. The concentration of socio-economically deprived host and refugee population groups in poor urban neighbourhoods is now one of the defining patterns of Tripoli metropolitan area’s urban structure. The neighbourhood of Al Aswak Sahat Al Daftar covers an area of 0.05km2. It is located within Haddadine, the community definition of which approximates but is not identical to the official Haddadine cadaster. It is located within the old city of Tripoli’s metropolitan area. The neighbourhood of Al Aswak Sahat el Daftar, amongst the most deprived in Tripoli, is characterized by old deteriorated housing conditions, deficient infrastructure, environmental burdens, as well as complex socio-cultural environment.
