A Bold Plan for New Orleans
October 4, 2005--In an in-depth editorial in the October, 2005, issue of
Environmental Building News (EBN), BuildingGreen president and EBN executive editor
Alex Wilson lays out a bold plan for how to approach the reconstruction of New Orleans in a way that
protects the environment while respecting the city's culture and the well-being of its residents.
Only twice before in our history--with the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and with the San Francisco
earthquake of 1906--has this nation faced such wholesale reconstruction of a city. The rebuilding of
New Orleans offers an opportunity to address sustainability on a scale that has not been tried
before.
