| Summary, etc. |
The Katrina diaster exposed the major fault lines of American society and politics; class and race. It offers lessons for urban scholars and practitioners. Katrina was a human made disaster more than a natural disaster. the conditions that led to the disaster, and the response by government officials, were the result of policy choices. Government incompetence was an outgrowth of a more serious indifference to the plight of cities and the poor. As a result, the opportunity to reconstruct New Orleans as a part of a bold regional renewal plan was lost. Whatever positive things happen in Katrina's aftermath will be due, in large measure, to the long-term work of grassroots community and union-organizing groups who mobilized quickly to provide a voice for the have-nots and who found allies among professionals to help formulate alternative plans to those developed by business and political elites. - Reproduced. |
