Abstract
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans. The (near-)complete evacuation of the city led to the nation-wide dislocation of vulnerable citizens. Today, its reconstruction and recovery seems to beuneven. The author views urban disaster recovery as an interaction of particular spatial, institutional, and social aspects. Uneven recovery isconceptualized as disconnect between planning for urban disaster re-covery, impacted populations, and the places in the city they inhabit. Asprocess, it encompasses heterogeneous cases of strong or weak recovery within the city. Based on a socio-spatialapproach, an integrated multidimensional theoretical and methodological framework is formulated for empiricalcase study research in New Orleans Lower Ninth Ward. Quantitative and qualitative mixed methods served to coll-ect empirical data in 2007 and 2009. The authors intention is to better understand planning for urban disaster reco-very in an American city and formulate resulting planning recommendations. This dissertation contributes to futuresustainable and just recovery paradigms in the context of recurring urban disaster events.
