TOPOGRAPHY ISSUES/FLOODING

The land in the Low-er 9th ward is not only flat but is also below sea level. Because the land is surrounded by two water bodies it is more prone to flood. Instead of the area being destroyed everytime there is a nature disaster, the Lower 9th ward can design to work with the potential of flooding.

ABANDONED

Floodng/natural disasters de-stroyed many areas in the Lower 9th ward, forcing people to leave. Because so much of the land is abandoned it would be easy to introduce new program, which over time will give people the push needed to develop the Lower 9th ward again.

RIGID SEPARATION

In the Lower 9th ward, there are only three programs. There is therefore a needed for more pro-grams in order to create an area that people would not only want to live but also visit.

TOURISM

Tourism creates 35% of New Orleans income, however it is only lo-cated in one area of the city. By expanding the areas tourism it allows for the creation of more income. However, because tourism is sea-sonal, it is necessary to not waste space on these programs without the allowance of re-using the space, during the off season.
