Revitalization Plan for Lafitte Corridor and Greenway in New Orleans, USA

Abstract

As one of the first revitalization projects since the devastation of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina, the 3.1-mile linear Lafitte Greenway will become a vibrant, multi-model transportation corridor linking residents to the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana. The landscape architect led a multi-disciplinary effort—incorporating public input, synthesizing many measurable objectives and working across a range of scales— to transform an old industrial rail corridor into a celebrated Greenway.
