English term or phrase: rebuild, physically and emotionally
I am trying to come up with a better way to convey the idea that xxx company helped the city both physically and emotionally (Please see context provided below)

Source: Our products are involved in a number of job sites in the state, including the 1&9 Subway Line for the New York City Transit Authority at Ground Zero. Our waterproofing systems were selected as part of the rebuilding of the 1&9 subway tunnel destroyed on September 11, 2001.

The repair of the subway lines was about more than just transportation for the nearly one million people who use that line each day. It was a symbolic achievement, of helping the city rebuild, physically and emotionally, and (xxx company) was fortunate and proud to be involved.

Translation: Nuestros productos se utilizan en varias obras en el estado, incluyendo las líneas 1 y 9 del metro para la Autoridad de Tránsito de la Ciudad de Nueva York en el lugar de los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre. Nuestros sistemas de impermeabilización fueron seleccionados como parte de la reconstrucción del túnel del metro de las líneas 1 y 9 destruido el 11 de septiembre de 2001. La reparación de las líneas de metro se trataba de mucho más que la transportación de casi un millón de personas que usan esa línea cada día. **********Era un logro simbólico, de ayudar a reconstruir la ciudad, física y emocionalmente, **************y xxxxx tuvo la fortuna y el orgullo de participar....

just one verb won´t cut it I think

en cuerpo y alma


Explanation:
Es una traducción más libre... Incluso podrías utilizar "recuperación". La idea es que se recupero físicamente (cuerpo) y emocionalmente (alma). Finalmente creo que el alma de una ciudad por lo regular es su gente y cuando uno empieza a ver que la ciudad va tomando "forma" de nuevo, vuelve esa tranquilidad emocional al asimilar que ya pasó y que aún se puede seguir.

Igual y sólo me explayé ;-)
Saludos =)
