Reconstruction Revival: How to Rebuild L.A.

Thousands of new homes and businesses will be built to replace the ones that were incinerated by the Los Angeles County fires this month. If done properly, the rebuilding could create more resilient communities. However, if done poorly the structures will be tomorrow's fire fuel. Join a panel of experts to learn the right — and wrong — ways to rebuild L.A. The panelists are: Christopher Boone, USC Price Dean and Director of USC Urban Futures. Santina Contreras, USC Price Assistant Professor of Environmental Planning. Richard Green, Chair, USC Price Wilbur H. Smith III Department of Real Estate Development. William Deverell, Historian and Co-Director of The West on Fire. With the moderator, Sarah Pilla, Climate Reporter for Spectrum News 1.
