Urban Planners Discuss Rebuilding (text)

September 30, 2005: Transcript of discussion on rebuilding New Orleans. MARGARET WARNER: There's no firm inventory yet of how many of New Orleans' buildings have been fatally damaged or destroyed, but it's clear that rebuilding the city is a huge task. How can New Orleans be successfully rebuilt? For that we turn to: Mary Comerio, professor of architecture at the University of California at Berkeley-- she's written widely on urban recovery after disasters; John Norquist, the former mayor of Milwaukee-- he is now the president for the Congress of the New Urbanism, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization; and Paris Rutherford, director of planning and urban design at RTKL Associates, a private Dallas-based planning and architecture firm. RTKL has been hired by FEMA to design a temporary village for evacuees in Baton Rouge.
