Informed by an analysis of New Orleans’ recent development history, New Orleans
after the Storm: Lessons from the Past, A Plan for the Future shows how the region’s
past development trends exacerbated the catastrophe, and suggests how the region
might rise again on a better footing by transcending the mistakes of the past.
