Naval Support Activity East Bank: Creating an international disaster, management, recovery, and resilience centerJanuary 2012 (has links)
This paper is a case study of the redevelopment of the Naval Support Activity
East Bank site located at 4400 Dauphine Street in the Bywater neighborhood of New
Orleans, Louisiana. Since Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the City of New Orleans
and the federal government have been trying to find the highest and best use for this
federally owned site, which has since been subject to BRAC legislation, or Base Re-Alignment and Closure. The City created the New Orleans Advisory Task Force
(NOATF) in November 2011 to oversee the process and come up with a plan for the
acquisition, redevelopment, and operation of the new facility. Their plan is to create
an international disaster management, recovery, and resilience center that could
serve as a hub for not only disaster preparedness for the region, country, or
potentially the world, but also a place for innovation and evolution of the disaster
management industry. With these goals in mind, the NOATF has taken on a massive
engagement of public and private partners that should help with the complex
financing mechanisms, the ownership and management of the property, and the
sustainability goals expected to be reached upon completion. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu

Time and costs in affordable housingJanuary 2018 (has links)
Affordable housing has been a predominant issue in New Orleans. The demand of affordable housing units in the city far exceeds the supply available. HousingNOLA established the demand of 33,600 of affordable housing opportunities in New Orleans. There are various challenges to increasing the supply of affordable housing from project scale, design and construction, complexity of financing, building regulations, and land use policies. Moreover, funding available for affordable housing at the federal and state level have negatively impacted developer's willingness to pursue this project while forcing the developer to create more with less. These challenges manifest themselves in additional costs and time. In partnership with HousingNOLA, the investigation revolves on how construction costs in affordable development could be reduced to increase the supply to meet the demand. First, the investigation focused on clarifying if construction costs were high in the City of New Orleans. In addition, it identified factor that increased construction costs within New Orleans. Thirdly, through the study of new building technologies, provide alternative construction methodology with the potential to create more affordable housing units. Lastly, propose recommendations for next steps in the creation of affordable housing in New Orleans to HousingNOLA. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu

Continuity of Caste: Free People of Color in the Vieux Carré of New Orleans, 1804-1820Foreman, Nicholas 05 1900 (has links)
Because of its trademark racial diversity, historians have often presented New Orleans as a place transformed by incorporation into the American South following 1804. Assertions that a comparatively relaxed, racially ambiguous Spanish slaveholding regime was converted into a two-caste system of dedicated racial segregation by the advent of American assumption have been posited by scholars like Frank Tannenbaum, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, and a host of others. Citing dependence on patronage, concubinage, and the decline in slave manumissions during the antebellum period, such studies have employed descriptions of the city’s prominent free people of color to suggest that the daily lives of non-whites in New Orleans experienced uniform restriction following 1804, and that the Crescent City’s transformation from Atlantic society with slaves to rigid slave society forced free people of color out of the heart of the city, known as the Vieux Carré, and into “black neighborhoods” on the margins of town. Despite the popularity of such generalized themes in the historiography, however, the extant sources housed in New Orleans’s valuable archival repositories can be used to support a vastly divergent narrative. By focusing on individual free people of color, or libres, rather than the non-white community as a whole, this paper seeks to show that free people of color were self determined in both public and private aspects of daily life, irrespective of governmental regime, and that their physical presence and political agency were not entirely eroded by the change in administration. Through evaluation of the geography of free black-owned properties listed in the city’s notarial archives, as well as baptisms, births, deaths, and marriages listed in archdiocese ledgers, I show that the family and community lives of free people of color in New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood appeared alive and well throughout the territorial period.

A report on Arts Administration internship with Christmas in October New Orleans, Louisiana, Fall 1994Wolf, Andrew 01 May 1995 (has links)
During September through December 1994 I completed an internship with Christmas in October, an organization that uses volunteers and donated cash and supplies to paint and repair the homes of low-income elderly and/or handicapped homeowners in New Orleans. CIO is a program of the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans, a historic preservation organization dedicated to promoting and preserving the architecture and neighborhoods of New Orleans. I performed a variety of jobs for Christmas in October including assisting with the daily operation of the office and warehouse, working on promotion and public relations, shooting photographs, and writing a plan for CIO's 1995 promotional campaign. This report discusses my experiences while I worked with the CIO staff and volunteers, discusses some managerial problems that I encountered and makes recommendations for their improvement. I also discuss my short and long-term contributions to the organization.

Informal and Alternative Economies on the Periphery Of New Orleans during the Early-Nineteenth Century: An Archaeological Inquiry of 16OR180Dooley, Austen E. 01 December 2013 (has links)
In summer of 2012 archaeological excavations were conducted at the Iberville Housing Projects in New Orleans, Louisiana. The excavations were conducted in order to gather archaeological data pertaining to the site’s history as part of New Orleans’ notorious vice district, Storyville. During excavation a cache of 765 turquoise glass seed beads was uncovered along the east wall of Test Unit #1. The cache, found at a depth of around 83 cm below the ground surface, suggests, in conjunction with other artifacts found at this level, that the beads were deposited at the site between 1810 and 1830. This cache of seed beads is unique at the site both in its context and in the quantity of beads that were found. The presence of the bead cache suggests that there may have been an active trading economy at the site, as beads similar to those found at the Iberville site are important elements in informal economies of the eighteenth century. This paper discusses the possibility that an alternative or informal reciprocal, non-cash based economy was in operation on the periphery of New Orleans in the early nineteenth century.
