Coming Home to New Orleans documents grassroots rebuilding efforts
in New Orleans neighborhoods after hurricane Katrina, and draws
lessons on their contribution to the post-disaster recovery of
cities. The book begins with two chapters that address Katrina's
impact and the planning and public sector recovery policies that
set the context for neighborhood recovery. Rebuilding narratives
for six New Orleans neighborhoods are then presented and analyzed.
In the heavily flooded Broadmoor and Village de L'Est
neighborhoods, residents coalesced around communitywide
initiatives, one through a neighborhood association and the second
under church leadership, to help homeowners return and restore
housing, get key public facilities and businesses rebuilt and
create new community-based organizations and civic capacity. A
comparison of four adjacent neighborhoods in the center of the city
show how differing socioeconomic conditions, geography, government
policies and neighborhood capacity created varied recovery
trajectories. The concluding chapter argues that grassroots and
neighborhood scale initiatives can make important contributions to
city recovery in four areas: repopulation, restoring "complete
neighborhoods " with key services and amenities, rebuilding parts
of the small business economy and enhancing recovery capacity. It
also calls for more balanced investments and policies to rebuild
rental and owner-occupied housing and more deliberate collaboration
with community-based organizations to undertake and implement
recovery plans, and proposes changes to federal disaster recovery
policies and programs to leverage the contribution of grassroots
rebuilding and more support for city recovery.
