Good planning can rebuild a sustainable New Orleans but politics is moving in the other direction observes Neal Peirce.

"The tragedy is this: With quality, imaginative planning, and the courage to make tough decisions, a grander-than-ever, truly sustainable New Orleans could emerge. And despite race and class suspicions, neighborhoods could, as reformers suggest, be given a role in planning their future on fresh and drier ground."
