In many cases, those with greater experience in decision-making processes and greater social and political capital may dominate those processes. The case of Hurricane Katrina, referred to in chapter II, provides a good example in this regard. It has been argued that the Industrial Canal, bounding the Lower Ninth Ward to the west, which failed and flooded the city of New Orleans, was constructed in that area partly owing to the limited political power of its residents. During the recovery period, those same residents had less access to the political resources needed to draw attention to their specific needs. V of Report on the World Social Situation 2016 (United Nations, forthcoming) elaborates on the policy areas that are relevant for equitable and inclusive societies.
