  • Lafitte Greenway Project
    Lafitte Greenway Project Lake Pontchartrain Area Watershed (New Orleans, LA); 2011 – Present Summary The Lake Pontchartrain Urban Waters Partnership collaborated to develop the Lafitte Greenway, a 2.6-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail and green corridor connecting the historic French Quarter to Bayou St. John. The project transformed a former shipping canal and railway into a public space offering diverse recreational opportunities. Today, the greenway includes a 12-foot wide asphalt path, new recreation fields, basketball courts, outdoor fitness parks, green space, and landscaping improvements, (Photo credit: City of New Orleans) including approximately 500 shade trees, native plant meadows, bioswales, and stormwater retention features. Moving forward, the partnership seeks to develop a community garden within the greenway to reduce neighborhood food deserts. Federal Agency Partners include: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Non-Federal Partners include: Friends of Lafitte Greenway, The Trust for Public Land, City of New Orleans, Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), Lafitte Greenway Steering Advisory Committee, Urban Conservancy, Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (LPBF) Goals The Lafitte Greenway aims to meet the needs of the community by providing a safe, publicly accessible open space to facilitate travel and recreation among diverse, adjacent neighborhoods in New Orleans.

  • Pleasure Atlas
    s New Orleans’ post-Hurricane Katrina recovery of the late richard campanella A 2000s morphed into a rather unexpected economic and cultural renaissance in the 2010s, new faces appeared in new areas, new conversations circulated, and new pleasure spaces began to open. The pleasure changes reflect a mounting trend affecting the downtowns of most major American cities, and New Orleans, for all its alleged distinction, is no exception. It is the spatial diffusion of gentrification, and it is drafting the latest cartography in this city’s ample atlas of pleasure. atlas Few American cities make space for pleasure like New Orleans. In Richard Campanella, a geographer with the some cases the space-making is a byproduct of the architectural Tulane School of Architecture and a Monroe past: witness the use of iron-lace balconies, porches, and stoops for Fellow with the New Orleans Center for the relaxing and interacting between private and public space, or the Gulf South, is the author of Bourbon Street: A History (2014), Bienville’s Dilemma: A Historical lovely neighborhood squares and neutral grounds (medians) that Geography of New Orleans (2008), Geographies draw bench-sitters and domino-players.

  • 2013 New Orleans Cultural Economy Snapshot, the Fourth Edition of the Groundbreaking Report Created at the Beginning of My Term As Mayor in 2010
    May 2014 Dear Friends and Colleagues: I am pleased to present the 2013 New Orleans Cultural Economy Snapshot, the fourth edition of the groundbreaking report created at the beginning of my term as Mayor in 2010. My Administration has offered this unique, comprehensive annual review of our city’s cultural economy not only to document the real contributions of the creative community to our economy, but also to provide them with the information they need to get funding, create programming, start a business, and much more. This report outlines the cultural business and non-profit landscape of New Orleans extensively to achieve that goal. As I begin my second term as Mayor, the cultural economy is more important than ever. The cultural sector has 34,200 jobs, an increase of 14% since 2010. New Orleans’ cultural businesses have added jobs each and every year, and jobs have now exceeded the 2004 high. The city hosted 60 total feature film and television tax credit projects in 2013, a 62% increase from 2010. Musicians in the city played 29,000 gigs in 2013 at clubs, theatres, or at many of the city’s 136 annual festivals. This active cultural economy injects millions into our economy, as well as an invaluable contribution to our quality of life. The City will continue to craft policies and streamline processes that benefit cultural businesses, organizations, and individuals over the next 4 years. There also is no doubt that cultural workers, business owners, producers, and traditional cultural bearers will persist in having a strong and indelible impact on our economy and our lives.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard New Orleans in 1849 1849 was an eventful year in New Orleans and the nation as a whole. On Valentine’s Day in New York City, James Knox Polk became the first serving United States President to have his photograph taken (with Matthew Brady snapping the shutter). Polk was about to leave office, making way for the only U.S. President to have lived in Louisiana: Zachary Taylor, the hero of the Mexican-American War. Taylor had inflicted over 1,800 Mexican casualties at the Battle of Buena Vista in February 1847. Defeated, the Mexican forces under Santa Anna retreated, ensuring a far-reaching victory for the Americans. Taylor, known as “Old Rough and Ready”, set sail for home in late November 1847. The following month, he received a hero’s welcome in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, setting the stage for his 1848 presidential win. Word of his nomination had been dispatched by mail to Taylor at his home in Baton Rouge, but (since he refused all postage due correspondence) he did not receive notification of this until several days later. Taylor was scheduled to take office as the twelfth U.S. President March 4, 1849, but refused to be sworn in on a Sunday. That took place on March 5th. Some allege this would have made David Rice Atchison President for a day. Atchison was President pro tempore (and thus Acting Vice President, under the presidential succession law then in place), but his tenure as President pro tempore had already expired when the Thirtieth Congress adjourned sine die on March 4.
