Book synopsis

Focusing on the examination of land use and §development choices that have been made in New §Orleans in the recent past that relate to the §economic system of hyper-capitalism, Towards a §Sustainable New Orleans proposes a sustainable and §equitable redevelopment strategy for the city and §the region. Many of these land-use and development §choices have placed a majority of the city s §residents in harm s way of a natural disaster. §Hurricane Katrina has demonstrated the need for §coastal cities to adopt sustainable development §plans in order to counteract poor choices made under §the hyper-capitalist system. This book proposes a §policy framework for the further development and §implementation of a sustainable redevelopment plan §for the city that utilizes the ideals of §environmental justice as an organizing principle. §Towards a Sustainable New Orleans is essential §reading for designers, planners, government §officials as well as people living in coastal areas.
