How Cities Heal After Disasters

Newsweek.com’s slideshow, “Aftermath: How cities Heal After Disasters“, takes a look at 10 cities that have suffered major catastrophes and their paths to recovery.  Some examples include the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871, which transformed Chicago into a pioneer of steel-frame construction. Another example is the Johnstown Flood of 1889, which helped establish the American Red Cross as the preeminent disaster relief organization in the United States.
