Beirut Urban Lab is working to address housing concerns in Beirut, Lebanon by creating the City of Tenants platform, which is a user-fed database and visualization tool that utilizes GIS technology to map information about rental arrangements in the city. This platform is intended to be used by homeowners, tenants, researchers, and housing advocates to make more informed decisions about housing. The platform utilizes several ArcGIS products such as Survey123, Experience Builder, Dashboards, and Map Viewer.
