Base Planning at Fort Benning

摘要

What challenges does a city face when tens of thousands of new citizens join its population in a compressed timeframe? To examine this challenge, consider the exodus of people who moved, many permanently, from New Orleans, La., to parts of Texas and other cities across the country following hurricane Ka-trina. Beyond the logistics of transporting such populations to new cities, this kind of major migration also strains facilities, housing, transportation systems and community resources such as schools, hospitals and utilities.
