THE REBUILDERS: ZACK ROSENBURG & LIZ MCCARTNEY

摘要

Like many volunteers after Katrina, educator Zack Rosen-burg and lawyer Liz McCartney went to Louisiana to help rebuild. What makes them different, however, is that they stayed. And as they stayed, they learned not only how to rebuild, but to rebuild better. Stationed in St. Bernard Parish, they created the St. Bernard Project, and gained corporate help-from Toyota and UPS-in learning how to make home construction more efficient, "unfettered by prior processes and structure," as Rosenburg put it. "The goal is to reduce construction time by 30 percent and costs by 10 to 15 percent."
