Essential."--Choice "This book reveals fresh and insightful approaches to the challenges of facing natural disaster. Contributions from the fields of regionalism and environmental planning are positive and prospective, offering new ways to understand how the places we call home are interconnected with each other and with the land. I'm particularly struck by the thoughtful writings about the individuality of these places, where cultural expressions in music and architecture are irrepressible, even amidst debris and discouragement."--Marilyn Jordan Taylor, Partner, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP and Chairman, Urban Land Institute "After reading Rebuilding Urban Places one comes away with an understanding of how complex a process it is to restore our urban communities after experiencing such a catastrophe . . . and an understanding of the leaps this country must take to help and protect our citizens."--John Timoney, Chief of Police, Miami "No elected official or planning professional should miss this book. Birch and Wachter have collected essays spanning every dimension of rebuilding. From historical lessons to cutting-edge practices, there is so much to learn."--Brent Warr, Mayor, City of Gulfport, Mississippi "A remarkable collection of essays."--Journal of the American Planning Association *Reader Reviews* "Rebuilding Urban Places..." is an outstanding compilation of articles covering the entire range of issues relevant to urban disaster response in general and to the Katrina fiasco in particluar. Makes me proud to be a UPenn School of Design alumnus (MCP'74)!! Should be required reading for anyone concerned about the future of our most important national urban treasure - the City of New Orleans - and about the future of our cities in general. Back To Top
