The goal of diverseLevant, Professor el-Dahdah’s diachronic map created for this conference, is to create an online mapping platform that illustrates the urban evolution of a Levantine city, such as Beirut, over its entire history as well as across its social, cultural, and religious diversity. The project consists of an online cartographic platform that illustrates the urban evolution of Beirut, over its entire history as well as across its social, cultural, and religious diversity. Primary archival sources, such as views of the city, historical maps, archaeological surveys, and architectural projects will be located, in time and space, while their associated visual and geographic data will be integrated across many databases.
