How to Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress presents the post-disaster landscape from the perspectives of those who are navigating their way through it. With contributions from over 100 residents, writers, photographers, artists, and community organizations from New Orleans (and beyond) who kickstarted the recovery process, it is beautifully designed, sometimes fun, and always informative. Filled with advice, know-how and stories shared, How to Rebuild a City also serves as a primer of sorts for those who may encounter the post-disaster lifestyle wherever they live. Proceeds benefit Rebuilding Together New Orleans (rtno.org).
“The new book How to Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress is an inspiration for anyone who wants the place they call home to be better -- and knows that it's not happening if they sit around waiting for the powers-that-be to get interested. A collection of essays, DIY guides, photos, eyewitness accounts, and resources, this little volume is as deeply idiosyncratic as New Orleans itself.” - Grist.org
