A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
One year after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast—rupturing the levees and flooding New Orleans—much of the region is still struggling to recover.

But underlying the struggle of New Orleans and other Gulf Coast cities and towns to plot their recovery from Katrina’s devastation is one simple but portentous question: what is the risk of rebuilding there? This question must be answered before a sound prognosis for the region’s future can be formulated.
