Install a planter box on a bare Beirut sidewalk stretch

Long stretches of sidewalk in Beirut's rebuilding neighborhoods are still bare concrete with almost no street-level green — a planter box gives one stretch a spot of color and a small buffer against dust. Standard: UN-Habitat safer public-space guidance — SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Before/after photos of the sidewalk stretch. Method (UN-Habitat safer public-space guidance — SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Choose a sidewalk stretch with shopkeeper or host go-ahead. 2. Build or place a simple planter box. 3. Fill with soil and Mediterranean-climate plants. 4. Water the new planting. 5. Photograph the finished planter. Done when: Before/after photos of the sidewalk stretch.

$180 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos of the sidewalk stretch.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
