Kelman:New Orleans

Kelman looks at the issue rebuilding New Orleans through a factual stand point. It talks about how the land is physically incapable from protecting itself from natural disasters like flooding and hurricanes. He goes on to point out the because New Orleans is so far below sea level, many times water has too be pumped out of the city. Another point that Kelman makes about the construction of New Orleans and it's dependency on engineered landscapes to protect this city. All these points and more help contribute to the fact that he does not believe that New Orleans should be rebuild after hurricane Katrina, because it is not in agreance with the environment.
