Rebuilding Communities Symposium (Portland)APA Oregon ChapterPortland, OR The "Rebuilding Communities Symposium" will offer insights into how communities recover from economic decay and from natural disasters, using case studies from Detroit, Michigan and from Joplin, Missouri.
Planning and architecture professionals working in Detroit and in Joplin will provide presentations that highlight the efforts being taken to rebuild these communities and set the course for a sustainable future, both from an economic and from a hazard mitigation standpoint.
Susan Hopkins, a planning practitioner with the Downtown Detroit Partnership will discuss efforts underway to consolidate areas of the city and to "right size" the infrastructure to the current socio-economic dynamic of the City.
Tim Ganey, an architect with DLR Group, has spent the last year designing both a temporary home and a permanent home for Joplin High School. The rebuilding effort of the high school has served as the nucleus of the rebuilding effort of the City. The design of the new high school campus incorporates innovative hazard mitigation strategies that could serve as a model for minimizing future losses from similar events in other communities.
