Rebuild New Orleans

Lawrence Geller has a vision for rebuilding New Orleans. It revolves around destination development. It ought to revolve around Inclusive Destination Development. even the best laid "master plans" fall flat when they overlook the integrating power of Universal Design -- and the markets they open up.


Suggestions for rebuilding New Orleans appear to be coming from everywhere these days. They may make headlines, but, regrettably, they will lead to only more of the same. What is required is a "big picture" master plan from a latter-day Robert Moses, the visionary who remade New York City more than a half century ago. In order to maximize the potential growth in tourism, these three key tourist areas must be cohesively linked by a new light-transportation infrastructure to create a much more integrated and economically viable city.
