A series of awesome installations in the heart of Beirut is painting the town red, literally. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Red hammocks and red swings have been taking over Fakhry Bey street in Beirut Souks, turning the area into a public urban hangout. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The installations are part of a cool new project titled Urbhang<\/a><\/b>. <\/p>\n

With a new intervention added each week, Urbhang aims to create a public space for Lebanese people right in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whether you’re looking to bask in the sun, catch up with a friend, get work done, spend quality time with the kids, or take your furry friend out for a walk, Urbhang is the place to be.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Urbhang will be running until the end of August, so make sure you check it out!<\/p>\n
