{"product_id":"the-city-the-river-the-patrick-nunnally-9780816667673","title":"The City, the River, the Bridge: Before and After the Minneapolis Bridge Collapse","description":"On August 1, 2007, just after 6:00 p.m., during the evening rush hour in Minneapolis, the 1,900-foot-long, eight-lane I-35W bridge buckled and crashed into the Mississippi River. The unimaginable had happened right on the doorstep of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. Many of the first responders were from the University, persevering in the midst of chaos and disbelief. In the ensuing weeks, research and engineering teams from the University reviewed the wreckage, searched for causes, and began planning for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe City, the River, the Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e represents another set of responses to the disaster. Stemming from a 2008 University of Minnesota symposium on the bridge collapse and the building of a new bridge, it addresses the ramifications of the disaster from the perspectives of history, engineering, architecture, water science, community-based journalism, and geography. Contributors examine the factors that led to the collapse, the lessons learned from the disaster and the response, the policy and planning changes that have occurred or are likely to occur, and the impact on the city and the Mississippi River.\u003ci\u003e The City, the River, the Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the University's commitment to issues that concern the community and shares insights on public questions of city building, infrastructure, and design policy.\u003cbr\u003eContributors: John O.
