Abstract "Delta Urbanism is a major APA initiative that explores the growth, development, and management of deltaic cities, toward balancing various and often competing goals in a sustainable manner: urbanization, port commerce, industrial development, flood defense, public safety, ecology, tourism, and recreation. Delta Urbanism contemplates the policies, tools, technology, coordinated planning, public outreach, and international cooperation--both current and emerging--needed to save deltaic cities. Delta Urbanism: New Orleans investigates a region already grappling with the crises predicted to confront coastal cities worldwide. Here is an accessible account of the histories, geographies, and human interventions that have brought this region to its current state"--Cover, p. 4.
