For two weeks in the middle of March, hundreds of students and professionals
will converge on New Orleans to help
the people of the Lower 9th Ward revitalize their community.
New Orleans’ Holy Cross Neighborhood and the Lower Ninth Ward offer one path to “sustainable preservation”. Nowhere else could it happen on such a scale as here: an entire community brought to its knees in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Struggling to recover and rebuild. To restore in a way that makes it even better than before.
Whether you are an architect, engineer, planner, landscape architect, interior designer or contractor consider joining them for what ever length of time you can. You’ll work hand in hand with neighborhood residents on their historic houses, parks, playgrounds and community centers.
Historic Green is an unprecedented opportunity to integrate sustainable practices with preservation of a place; to increase energy efficiency; to enhance its quality of life, housing and transportation; and to protect the wetlands. Help create the nation’s first carbon-neutral community by joining the team. For more information contact info@historicgreen.org.
