Lot lines and plot numbers in Greater Beirut © Beirut Urban Lab, American University of Beirut (Beirut Built Environment Database), licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. We converted the parcels to map tiles showing each plot's number and real-estate zone and, where we know it, the name of the building on it (see Buildings and streets), and made no other changes.

Building names on our maps, and their outlines, floors and years and street names on the map where listers place their pin: Beirut Urban Lab, American University of Beirut (CC BY-SA 4.0), OpenStreetMap contributors, Overture Maps Foundation, Wikidata and GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). We combined and cleaned these sources.

Area outlines: OCHA and Lebanon's Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR), from the Common Operational Datasets (CC BY-IGO 3.0); Beirut's sectors from OCHA's layer built on OpenStreetMap. Homes whose exact spot isn't known are placed where homes are, using the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL, © European Union, CC BY 4.0): we keep its 2020 residential built-up surface (all built-up surface minus the non-residential) and place each such home on it, inside its area.
