Neighborhood


New Orleans culture is strongly defined by neighborhoods, and since Katrina, neighborhood groups have had tremendous success at mobilizing resources for rehabilitation. Projects at the neighborhood scale expand beyond the efforts of individual citizens to involve community groups and public entities. Collaboration and coordination among these groups can be complex, but it enables comprehensive action.

These projects all arose from the examination of issues in specific neighborhoods, but their strategies could be translated to other parts of the city that face similar challenges.
