Rebuilding the City of New Orleans: Working Across Sectors to Achieve a Common Goal (from MIT World)

It took John Fernandez more than a year just to begin to understand the political players and competing interests in New Orleans, and so it is no surprise to him that coming up with a common goal for rebuilding the city, much less a "resource efficient one," proves elusive. Nevertheless, Fernandez and other MIT researchers aspire to make post-Katrina New Orleans a successful case study of a city "becoming green," perhaps serving as a model for other urban centers, particularly those facing climate change challenges.
