To help balance the scales, \u003ci\u003e Voice of the Poor: Citizen Participation Informing Public Policy for Rebuilding New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on low-income residents, mostly African Americans, whose views are needed to help rebuild the shattered city in a way that will make it more sustainable, inclusive, and economically competitive than it was before Hurricane Katrina.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough citizen participation, everyone's voice can be heard. As a result, New Orleans will become more equitable. \u003ci\u003eVoice of the Poor\u003c\/i\u003e offers a process for arriving at an acceptable solution for those who are interested in individual and community self-determination. Input of both current \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e displaced residents is vitally important in the rebuilding of the city. However, participation has generally been limited to those who have had the resources to return to New Orleans and continue their lives there. A variety of outlets for the participation of those who have returned have been available, and their contributions are integral in developing the plan to rebuild New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIronically, low-income citizens-those most impacted by the storm-have largely been excluded from this discussion. \u003ci\u003eVoice of the Poor\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to bridge this gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 03, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42132813414535,"sku":"9780595400645","price":11.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/7c645486d7726446b417d14cf738fdf4.webp?v=1732629606","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/voice-of-the-poor-citizen-participation-for-rebuilding-new-orleans-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
