What is a city? : rethinking the urban after Hurricane Katrina / edited by Phil Steinberg & Rob Shields.
Athens, GA : University of Georgia Press, ©2008.
viii, 233 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm
The devastation brought upon New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent levee system failure has forced urban theorists to revisit the fundamental question of urban geography and planning. From the disciplines of anthropology, architecture, geography, philosophy, planning, public policy studies, and sociology, as well as community organizing, the contributors include planners, architects, policymakers, and geographers from across the political spectrum have weighed in on how best to respond to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina. They unpack post-Katrina discourse, examining what expert and public responses tell us about current attitudes not just toward New Orleans, but toward all cities.
