 Paradise Lost | Paradise Found 

apotheosizes the everyman and elevates each character as a voice of the community.  The sage and visionaries remove fundamentals of the planning discussion from the ivory tower take them to the streets.

 

Each chapter examines an issue that was born when the interstate was rammed through the Treme and 7th Ward communities in New Orleans. Their collective visions of past, present and future inform a larger message that speaks to the transformation of place.
