MORE SESSION DETAILS
Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of New Orleans, but not its soul. Over a decade later, that same spirit of resiliency led to the transformation of its biomedical district. Tour this neighborhood, which includes two major hospitals, the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Tulane University Health Sciences Center, Louisiana Cancer Research Center, and public amenities. Learn about planning principles implemented before and after Katrina and how their success will generate $9.5 billion in economic impact and 17,000 jobs. Finally, participate in an interactive workshop to determine which lessons can be applied in your community.
