"In a public forum held today, the panel presented detailed rebuilding recommendations to the Bring New Orleans Back Commission, including specifics on economic development and culture; government effectiveness; and planning, including infrastructure, housing and urban planning and design. The presentation capped a week-long visit during which more than 50 ULI members, all specialists in urban and post-disaster development, toured the city, held a public forum drawing more than 300 people, and interviewed more than 150 citizens representing a broad range of interests, including business, civic, political, cultural, utility, healthcare and education representatives and community activists. Prior to the panel's visit, ULI spent more than a month making repeated visits to the city to gather citizens' input and collect research."
