Earth Changes 2016: New Orleans Is Sinking Faster Than Ever, Up to 2 Inches A Year
New Orleans is sinking, according to a study using NASA airborne radar. The subsidence, or sinking rates, of the city and surrounding areas is caused by naturally occurring geologic and human-caused processes. According to this latest study, subsidence is happening at higher rates than what previous data has shown using different kinds of radar, which before had been lower resolution and not as spatially extensive.
The study took place from June 2009 to July 2012 and was a joint effort by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.; University of California, Los Angeles; and the Center for GeoInformatics at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.

ABANDONED Housing Projects in New Orleans
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Many families were displaced, forced to leave their homes and hopefully find new places to live (mostly out of state). The Marrero Commons (formerly B.W. Cooper Housing Complex) was targeted for tear down and rebuild. It is now 2017, and only about half of the housing project has been rebuilt. The other half remains abandoned and empty.

9th Ward New Orleans cut throat city
Learning to live with water
Sitting on his porch in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, Otis Tucker cuts a lone figure on a street punctuated with large empty spaces - the shadows of homes lost to Hurricane Katrina.
Tucker lives in the part of the Louisiana city most devastated by the powerful storm and its aftermath in 2005, when levees designed to protect the city from flooding failed.
Many residents of the poor neighbourhood have struggled to return after fleeing Katrina.
Lack of funds to come home and rebuild, coupled with developers swiftly moving in, and gentrification of this predominantly black, lower-income area, have left scars.

The Rise and Fall of the Tremé Neighborhood
Directly adjacent to the French Quarter in New Orleans, the Tremé is the oldest African-American neighborhood in the United States, as well as the birthplace of jazz music. Tremé's influence on broader American culture can't be overstated, and its people have surmounted numerous challenges over the last three hundred years, including social upheaval following the Civil War, racist legislation during the 20th century, and more recently the implacable march of urban gentrification.

Prospect.1 New Orleans Biennial 2008
Prospect.1 is New Orlean's first biennial and the largest-ever international contemporary art show in the United States. Similar in style and scope to Venice, the exhibit consists of site-specific art installations, as well as several galleries in museums and elsewhere in the city devoted to it. As the front page of the event's website proclaims, it's designed to bring media attention and tourist dollars to New Orleans, so book your tickets now to get down there before it closes 18 January 2009.
Why so bold-faced? Think of it as a giant humanitarian effort to get people to visit a fascinating location—it's win-win for New Orleans and for visitors, especially the types who aren't interested in Bourbon street and otherwise would have little reason to explore the beautifully ramshackle neighborhoods in various states of decay and rebuilding.
As Peter Schjeldahl writes in the New Yorker, referring to the successful candor of the organizer's intentions, featuring few big names and nary a masterpiece, it is my favorite biennial since the nineteen-eighties.

New Orleans - City Video Guide
New Orleans, Louisiana, is a port city straddling the Mississippi River. Its mix of cultural influences makes 'The Big Easy' one of the liveliest and most popular destinations in the USA.
Lined with bars, clubs and restaurants, the French Quarter is known as the birthplace of jazz. It's also where you'll find Bourbon Street, one of the most famous party streets in the world.
Many of the city's main attractions are also found here. Start your day with a coffee in Jackson Square, which is lined with grand old buildings including St. Louis Cathedral.
Cross over into the former Warehouse District, now packed with galleries and chic boutiques. Here you'll find Memorial Hall, Lousiana's oldest museum, dedicated to Civil War history.
New Orleans' distinctive cuisine often gives a fiery kick, and specialties like gumbo are available everywhere. But music is what feeds the city's soul, and at the jazz or blues clubs around Frenchman Street the good times roll on and on, late into the night.
