本文从“城市复原力”的角度来思考新奥尔良最近发生的灾难，“城市复原力”指的是城市从毁灭中恢复过来的能力。基于各种历史案例，我认为城市韧性在很大程度上是韧性和足智多谋的公民的一种功能。卡特里娜飓风不仅破坏了新奥尔良的建筑环境，还迫使居民大规模疏散，撕裂了该市的社会结构。我认为，重建城市有形基础设施的计划必须伴随着恢复其社会结构和社区网络的承诺。只有在基层有强大的公民参与，新奥尔良的重建才能产生一个强大和包容的大都市，而不是以前的主题公园阴影。
This article considers the recent catastrophe in New Orleans in terms of "urban resilience," the capacity of a city to rebound from destruction. Based on a variety of historical examples, I argue that urban resilience is largely a function of resilient and resourceful citizens. Hurricane Katrina not only devastated the built environment of New Orleans but, by forcing a massive evacuation of residents, tore apart its social fabric as well. I maintain that plans to rebuild the physical infrastructure of the city must be accompanied by a commitment to rehabilitate its social fabric and communal networks. Only with strong citizen involvement at the grassroots level will the rebuilding of New Orleans yield a robust and inclusive metropolis, rather than a theme-park shadow of its former self.
