  • A Perceptual History of New Orleans Neighborhoods
    June 2014 http://www.myneworleans.com/New-Orleans-Magazine/ A Glorious Mess A perceptual history of New Orleans neighborhoods Richard Campanella Tulane School of Architecture We allow for a certain level of ambiguity when we speak of geographical regions. References to “the South,” “the West” and “the Midwest,” for example, come with the understanding that these regions (unlike states) have no precise or official borders. We call sub-regions therein the “Deep South,” “Rockies” and “Great Plains,” assured that listeners share our mental maps, even if they might outline and label them differently. It is an enriching ambiguity, one that’s historically, geographically and culturally accurate on account of its imprecision, rather than despite it. (Accuracy and precision are not synonymous.) Regions are largely perceptual, and therefore imprecise, and while many do embody clear geophysical or cultural distinctions – the Sonoran Desert or the Acadian Triangle, for example – their morphologies are nonetheless subject to the vicissitudes of human discernment. Ask 10 Americans to delineate “the South,” for instance, and you’ll get 10 different maps, some including Missouri, others slicing Texas in half, still others emphatically lopping off the Florida peninsula. None are precise, yet all are accurate. It is a fascinating, glorious mess. So, too, New Orleans neighborhoods – until recently. For two centuries, neighborhood identity emerged from bottom-up awareness rather than top-down proclamation, and mental maps of the city formed soft, loose patterns that transformed over time. Modern city planning has endeavored to “harden” these distinctions in the interest of municipal order – at the expense, I contend, of local cultural expressiveness.

  • Streets of New Orleans
    Streets of New Orleans Described by geographer Pierce Lewis as the “inevitable city” in the “impossible site”, New Orleans (French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is named after Philippe II, Duc d'Orléans, Regent of France (brother of King Louis XIV), and is well known for its distinct French architecture as well as its cross cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz) and its annual celebrations including Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (commonly referred to as Jazzfest). Esplanade Ave: The original meaning of esplanade was a large, open, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress against incoming infantry or artillery. Esplanade Ave eventually became a place for elegant promenade and was the center of New Orleans‟ Creole community with luxurious homes and a thoroughbred racetrack [Sometimes referred to as the "New Orleans Fair Grounds", the track was initially opened as the "Union Race Course" in 1852. The track closed in 1857 due to competition from the Metairie Course. In 1859 the track was renamed the "Creole Race Course." In 1863, the name was changed again to the "Fair Grounds".] Refugees from the Haitian Revolution substantially bolstered New Orleans‟ African and Creole population in the early nineteenth century reinforcing African traditions in the city and leading to the nation‟s largest population of Free People of Color prior to the American Civil War.

    The New OrleansIndex Tracking the Recovery of New Orleans & the Metro Area CE N C A O V P Y D A “Though New Orleans has been August somewhat shielded from the 2009 recession due to substantial rebuilding activity, four years after Katrina the region still faces major challenges due to blight, unaffordable housing, and vulnerable flood protection. New federal leadership must commit and sustain its partnership with state and local leaders by delivering on key milestones in innovation, infrastructure, human capital, and sustainable communities to help greater New Orleans move past “disaster recovery” and boldly build a more prosperous future.” Next edition August 2010 • For the latest data, visit www.gnocdc.org For speediest response, please direct media inquiries to www.gnocdc.org/media/ Next update August 2010 at www.gnocdc.org the New Orleans Index ABOUT THIS NEW ORLEANS INDEX This fourth anniversary edition of the New Orleans Index examines the social and economic recovery of the New Orleans metro area, four years after Hurricane Katrina and the related levee failures. Relying on more than fifty indicators, we examine recovery progress to date for the city and its surrounding metro area which includes Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. Tammany parishes. Key findings are highlighted in “at-a-glance” graphic representations. For the first time, we have added neighborhood-level indicators of population recovery for the city of New Orleans (Orleans Parish). Readers seeking even more detail can visit the GNOCDC.org web site for interactive maps and more detailed analysis. And we continue to publish several indicators of recovery for New Orleans’ 13 planning districts, which were the geographic areas for which specific plans were developed when New Orleanians gathered in late 2006 to develop the Unified New Orleans Plan.
