Jad Jari
Jad Jari is an urban researcher and practitioner based in Beirut, Lebanon, working at the intersection of spatial theory, conflict, and urban life.
Since late 2024, more than a million people in Lebanon have been displaced at different moments of the conflict. In a country of around six million, this scale of movements is equivalent to displacing over 57 million people in the United States, fundamentally altering how space is inhabited and organised.
The changes I observe do not only reflect the disruption of the old urban scene, they point to war as a mode of spatial production.
