M. J. PlodinecNew Orleans, LAAugust 26, 2010

You’re not recovering, you’re preparing for what’s next

The next one won’t be like the last one

• Recession of 2001-2

• Katrina – Rita

• Great Recession

• BP oil spill

What’s next?

It takes a neighborhood to rebuild a neighborhood

There are rhythms in recovery;the neighborhood has to write its own music

Celebration of small successes is essential for greater ones!

Recovery occurs network by network, district by district, not just building by building;

it is about reconstructing myriad social relationships embedded in schools, workplaces, childcare arrangements, shops, places of

worship, and places of play and recreation.

— Vale and Campanella
