New Orleans Now

Thursday, 01/18/2007, 6:00–8:00pm
Due to overwhelming response, this event is no longer accepting RSVPs. Seats will be available first to those that have RSVP'd and then on a first come, first serve basis.
The panel discussion will feature presentations on current planning efforts for the rebuilding of New Orleans including the New Orleans Neighborhoods Rebuilding Plans, drafted earlier in 2006 by Lambert Advisory of Miami under a contract with the City Council of New Orleans and the ongoing citywide Unified New Orleans Plan (UNOP) administered by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. The context of these current plans will be framed by a presentation of the earlier ULI effort. Through UNOP, planning teams from around the country are currently working with residents in all neighborhoods to develop lists of proposed recovery projects for each of the city’s 13 planning districts.
