تتطلّع جمعيّة تراث بيروت إلى نشر الوعيّ بضرورة إحياء تراث مدينة بيروت الضارب في جذور التاريخ منطلقين مما ورد في كتب الرحالة القدامى لألفي سنة قبل الميلاد مرّوا بالمدينة ومكثوا فيها قليلاً أو طويلاً من الزمن، ومن ثمّ مما ورد في كتب المؤرخين، ومراسلات السفراء والقناصل ومشاهداتهم، وكذلك من خلال ما نظمه بعض الشعراء وصورته ريشة بعض الفنانين والتقطته عدسات بعض المصوّرين والسيّاح مع تقدّم الزمن، ولا ننسى محفوظات المحاكم الشرعية والمدنية وسجلات بعض الدوائر الرسمية التي تذكر في أحكامها وتدويناتها أسماء العائلات والمناطق وجغرافيا المدينة من خلال عقود بيغ وشراء الأراضي والعقارات.. تلك هي مصادرنا بالإضافة إلى ما تحمله الذاكرة الشفهية للكبار الذين لا يزالون يضيئون وهج حياتنا أطال الله بعمرهم وبارك في علمهم وعملهم. كل هذا التراث العمراني، الثقافي والفني لمدينة بيروت، نهتم بتوثيقه ليكون بمتناول الباحثين الأكاديميين في الحاضر والمستقبل، وفي متناول أي شاب وشابّة يتوقُ لمعرفة بيئة عيش اجداده البيارتة على مرّ السنين. هدف الجمعيّة التواصل مع جيلٍ لا يعرف من معالم المدينة القديمة إلا ما ندر من صور ومن أخبار تتوارثها العائلات، فالحروب المتتالية في لبنان وتحديداً في بيروت من زمن إعلان دولة لبنان الكبير 1920 حتى يومنا هذا، أرهقت البيارتة وأفقدتهم متعة استرجاع ذكرياتهم الجميلة والمرحة. وهو سعي يصبّ في صميم رسالة جمعية تراث بيروت، عنينا بذلك ترميم وإعادة استنهاض الذاكرة الجماعية، الفكرية منها والثقافية لمدينة بيروت التي أصبحت ظروف العيش فيها صعبة لدرجة فقدان الهُويّة المدنية الجامعة لتلك المدينة.

It is based on continuous communication between all of the involved stakeholders, such as the National Heritage Foundation, Arab Center for Architecture, UN Blue Shield, Save Beirut Heritage, Live Love Beirut, Arc-en-Ciel, MARCH, Bebw' Shebbek, Together Li Beirut among many others. As of late August 2020, we organized our efforts and workflow in 3 phases: Emergency propping and sheltering, partial repairs and full reconstruction of heritage buildings affected by the August 4, 2020 blast.BHI started to organically anchor the revitalization efforts by identifying priority clusters to concentrate repairs and restoration works. This is crucial to channel energies and to foster multilateral partnerships, all to maximize the impact of what is being accomplished with scarce resources.
