PULSE
PULSE is Professionals of Urbanism, Landscape, and Spatial Environments in the Lebanon and the region.
The PULSE Google Group is the successor of the Urbanitopia Yahoo Group, which has been operational since mid 2005. The idea behind PULSE is to connect professionals of spatial environments [urban planners, urban designers, landscape designers, architects, social scientists, and policy makers] in the Lebanon and the region and to promote communication and exchange among them for bettering spatial awareness and advancing the profession of spatial environments in the region.
PULSE is a closed group, open to members only by invitation. Members can post announcements [book releases, lectures, conferences, etc.], job vacancies [practice, research], readings [articles, books, electronic sources, etc.], funding opportunities [fellowships, scholarships, etc.], and ideas related to the disciplines and practice concerned with spatial environments.
