In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ripped through the cities of the Gulf Coast, leaving behind over one hundred billion dollars in property damage, thousands of residents displaced and nearly two thousand dead. As one of the hardest hit cities, New Orleans has spent the last decade rebuilding to create a stronger and smarter city. Hear about SPUR’s recent study trip to the Big Easy and the lessons that can be applied to the cities of the Bay Area.
