SPUR Evening Forum: URBANbuild Local Global: An innovative model for rebuilding and good design in New Orleans

"URBANbuild Local Global documents the work of URBANbuild, a comprehensive two-year program at Tulane University School of Architecture initiated to actively support the rehabilitation of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. URBANbuild Local Global, literally a double-sided book, reconnects local research, analysis and design for New Orleans with a broader framework that embraces knowledge and experience drawn from comparable world cities. With authors Ila Berman and Mona El-Khafif."
