  Gotham and Greenberg contend that New York and New Orleans have emerged as paradigmatic crisis cities, representing a free-market approach to post-disaster redevelopment that is increasingly dominant for crisis-stricken cities around the world. This book questions the widespread narrative of resilience and reveals the uneven and contradictory effects of redevelopment activities in the two cities.
