Abstract
Description
It is the intent of this paper to look at the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, known also as the Good Friday Earthquake or the Great Alaskan earthquake, and to focus on Anchorage, the largest city which was affected by the event. The focus on Anchorage is used as a case study to understand the nature and outcome of the “reconstruction” process and to serve as a basis for more general comments about the nature of earthquake reconstruction processes in urban communities.
