| Abstract | ||||
| Rivers are a fundamental asset of urban geographical environments affecting the urban structure morphology, and a vital part in the emergence of societies. Once was the rest place of merchant travellers stopping by its banks to rest, the Berdawni River brought prosperity to the city of Zahle with the establishments of hotels and restaurants along withresidential and commercial premises spread by its sides. Overtime and due to negligence, The Berdawni River semi-retired and brought forward dysfunctional environmental issues requiring urban restructure to restore its identity, landscape and heritage values. | ||||
