Crisis Cities: Disaster and Redevelopment in New York and New Orleans
Fox Gotham, Kevin (Professor of Sociology, Professor of Sociology, Tulane University)
Gotham and Greenberg contend that New York and New Orleans have emerged as paradigmatic crisis cities, representing a free-market approach to post-disaster redevelopment that is increasingly dominant for crisis-stricken cities around the world. This book questions the widespread narrative of resilience and reveals the uneven and contradictory effects of redevelopment activities in the two cities.
