What is a City? Rethinking the Urban after Hurricane Katrina presented by Phil Steinberg, Jordan Flaherty & Jacob Wagner.
The experience of catastrophe forces us to reconsider not only the material but the abstract and virtual qualities of cities. It requires us to revisit how we think about, plan for, and live in them.
Join the contributors to What Is a City? as they unpack post-Katrina discourse, examining what expert and public responses tell us about current attitudes not just toward New Orleans, but toward cities in general.
