How Cities Bounce Back

Rebirth often follows catastrophe.

Jan. 31 issue - During the great Chicago Fire of 1871, flames killed
some 300 people and leveled close to 20,000 buildings, leaving a third
of the city's population homeless. Just as striking, however, is how
quickly Chicago bounced back. "Within a week," writes historian Kevin
Rozario in his contribution to the compelling new book "The Resilient
City" (336 pages. Oxford University Press), "5,000 new makeshift
buildings were ready for occupation" and work on "200 more permanent
structures" was underway. "Remarkably," he notes, "Chicago's economy
grew even faster in the year after the fire than it had in the year
before."
