While representing 10% of municipal Beirut, the completed city center will contain about 50% of its public space. Pending reconstruction, there are also the vacant lots to add. This makes it a tremendous place to meet, enjoy outdoor life and engage in street life. The city center is an exercise field for all ages and at all times, particularly on Sundays when it is closed to traffic. The public has reclaimed it for walking, jogging, biking, playing ball games, to keep fit or simply for fun. Outdoor events are merging with permanent and temporary indoor activities, much to the enjoyment of all. They include street markets and festivals, health and environment awareness campaigns, cat walks and dog shows.
