Description

After seven years of service as the president of Tulane University, Scott Cowen watched the devastation of his beloved New Orleans by the hands of Hurricane Katrina. When federal, state, and city officials couldn’t find their way to decisive action, Cowen, known for his gutsy leadership, quickly partnered with a coalition of civic, business, and nonprofit leaders having a look to work around the old institutions to revitalize and develop into New Orleans. This team led the charge to restore equilibrium and in the end to rebuild. For the past nine years, Cowen has continued this work, helping to bring the city of New Orleans back from the brink. The Inevitable City presents 10 principles that changed the game for this city, and, if adopted, can alter the curve for any business, endeavor, community―and maybe even a nation.That is the story of the resurgence and reinvention of one of The us’s greatest cities. Abnormal citizens, empowered to actively rescue their own city after politicians and government officials failed them, have succeeded in rebuilding their world. Cowen used to be at the forefront of those who articulated, shaped, and implemented a vision of transformative change that has yielded surprising social progress and economic growth: a drowned city identified with the shocking images of devastation and breakdown has transformed itself into a mecca of growth, opportunity, and hope.
