Planned communities designed by DPZ include:Disaster recovery planning
DPZ has taken a leading role in the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Working with the Mississippi Governor's Commission on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal, and the Louisiana Recovery Authority, DPZ's designers have generated plans for rebuilding at the regional, local and neighborhood level. They have also developed guidelines for individual homeowners looking to rebuild. Notably, DPZ organized and led the Mississippi Renewal Forum, which generated plans for eleven municipalities along the Mississippi Coast; prepared a series of typological plans for recovery and redevelopment of the Southern Louisiana coast under the Louisiana Speaks effort; and participated in the Unified New Orleans Plan as the neighborhood planner for the French Quarter, the Central Business District and Gentilly. Following the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010, DPZ, working under the banner of The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment (TPFBE), prepared a recovery plan for Port-au-Prince.Publications
