Rebuilding Community after Katrina chronicles the innovative and
ambitious partnership between Cornell University's City and
Regional Planning department and ACORN Housing, an affiliate of
what was the nation's largest low-income community organization.
These unlikely allies came together to begin to rebuild devastated
neighborhoods in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The editors
and contributors to this volume allow participants' voices to show
how this partnership integrated careful, technical analysis with
aggressive community outreach and organizing. With essays by
activists, organizers, community members, and academics on the
ground, Rebuilding Community after Katrina presents insights on the
challenges involved in changing the way politicians and analysts
imagined the future of New Orleans' Ninth Ward. What emerges from
this complex drama are lessons about community planning,
organizational relationships, and team building across
multi-cultural lines. The accounts presented in Rebuilding
Community after Katrina raise important and sensitive questions
about the appropriate roles of outsiders in community-based
planning processes.
