The control and appropriation of space has been an important dimension of urban planning in the late 15 years in Beirut. It appears particularly in two large reconstruction projects, both located in the southern suburbs of Beirut, inhabited by a population mostly Shiite Muslim and dominated by Hezbollah, and both elaborated in a context of tension between the Lebanese government majority and the Party of God. After the civil war, in the beginning of the 1990s, a huge governmental urban reconstruction project of Planning and Development of Beirut's South Western Suburbs, named Elyssar, was elaborated during a three years negotiation between Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and the Shiite parties Amal and Hezbollah. The project's decisions, whether uncontested or resulting from compromises, depended on both the actors' strategies and their perceptions of the city. This paper shows how political and strategic dimensions were used during its elaboration. It brings to the light the important spatial and political consequences that the official agreement on Elyssar has had until now, even though the core of the project has never been implemented. The forms and practices of spatial negotiation identified in Elyssar lighten the recent project of reconstruction of Haret Hreik, named Waad. Set up after the July 2006 war, this project aims to reconstruct a large majority of apartments buildings destroyed during the Israelis raids in Beirut South Eastern suburbs. It was elaborated and launched by Hezbollah as a private company, independent from the government, and started to be implemented, meanwhile the government planned the reconstruction of infrastructures and gave compensations to the owners for their destroyed apartments, with the support of international donors. Despite different projects and political contexts, some intersections between these two projects illuminate the current period. It brings out the changes and continuities of actors' perceptions and strategies of control and appropriation of space, looking again ...

After the civil war (1975-1990), the Lebanese government adopted a new policy towards the informal settlements which had sprawled in Beirut, especially in its southern suburbs, during the events. The Prime minister team entered in negotiations with the Shiite parties Amal and Hezbollah, who were dominating this part of the town. These negotiations resulted in a huge project of onsite resettlement of most of the 80,000 irregular inhabitants of this area. The elaboration of this project rest largely on legal practices, claims of rights and will of justice. Several representations of the irregular settlements and their inhabitants were present in minds and the project was conceived with different, indeed contradictory, conceptions and interpretations of law, justice and rights. Contradictions between these different conceptions led to a compromise project, difficult to be implemented and parts of which could be diversely interpreted. Eventually, the project hasn't be realised. Nevertheless, its existence had other effects. The agreement on the wording of a policy, in spite of its shadowy areas, created a common platform of ideas from which to cooperate, negotiate and manage deviations and contradictions from a point of agreement. It calmed tensions, confirmed the property rights, encouraging private investments in the southern suburbs, allowed the state to intervene in the area and, finally, defined rights for the inhabitants who cannot be anymore evicted without compensations or resettlement. ; Après la guerre civile (1975-1990), le gouvernement libanais a adopté une nouvelle politique vis-à-vis des quartiers informels qui se sont développés à Beyrouth, essentiellement dans sa banlieue sud, pendant les événements. L'équipe du Premier ministre a entrepris des négociations avec les partis chiites Amal et Hezbollah qui dominaient cette partie de la ville. Ces négociations ont abouti à un grand projet de relogement sur place de près de 80 000 habitants irréguliers de cette zone. L'élaboration de ce projet repose largement sur des pratiques légales, des revendications de droits, des volontés de justice. De nombreuses représentations des quartiers irréguliers et de leurs habitants étaient présentes dans les esprits et le projet a été conçu avec des conceptions et interprétations de la loi, de la justice et des droits différentes, voire contradictoires. Les contradictions entre ces différentes conceptions a mené à un projet de compromis, difficile à mettre en œuvre et dont certaines parties étaient diversement interprétables. Au bout du compte, le projet n'a pas été réalisé. Néanmoins, son existence a eu d'autres effets. L'accord sur la formulation d'une politique, en dépit de ses zones d'ombre, a créé une plateforme idéelle commune à partir de laquelle il est possible de coopérer, de négocier et de gérer ce qui devient des déviations ou des contradictions à partir d'un point d'accord. Par leur seul fait qu'il ait été mis en place, ce projet a permis que se dénouent les tensions, il a confirmé les droits de propriété, encourageant les investissements privés dans la banlieue sud, il a permis à l'Etat d'intervenir sur la zone et, enfin, il a défini des droits pour les habitants, qui ne peuvent plus maintenant être évincés sans indemnité ou relogement.

These networks bring together residents' communities, nongovernmental organizations and professionals. In Cambodia, the combination of their actions with those of international institutions as well as other international collaborative operations has greatly contributed to the government's radical change of attitude with respect to the capital's 'informal settlements'. In the space of a few years, the city has moved from a policy of eradication to one of regularization and improvement for almost all these settlements. Phnom Penh is now cited by international networks as a model of such action.

Phnom Penh est aujourd'hui érigée par ces réseaux internationaux en modèle exemplaire. Dans la pratique cependant, l'action publique manifeste la contradiction entre cette politique et celle en faveur du développement foncier et immobilier.
