CASE STUDIES
Following a Request for Proposals process, a team of consultants headed by Goody Clancy & Associates of Boston, was selected to direct this initiative. Since the inception of the planning process in the summer of 2008, GCR has served as one of the principal consultants on the project team, playing a multifaceted leadership role. GCR has been tasked with a number of “core” planning responsibilities that will run throughout the duration of the project, including public outreach facilitation, GIS mapping and geospatial analysis, data management, and demographic analysis and projections. GCR also leads the formulation of two central components of the plan. The first element, dubbed “How We Prosper,” includes the development of a coordinated strategy for the city’s economic engines. GCR has served as lead author and planner on chapters dealing with downtown New Orleans, the city’s commercial transportation infrastructure, and the revitalization of the city’s neighborhood commercial districts. The second element, focused on “Sustainable Systems”, provides a holistic approach to the city’s infrastructure—evaluating the existing physical capital and needs of transportation, energy, and hydrological systems, as well as the systems that support the social health and safety of the citizens of New Orleans. Running throughout this section is a continued emphasis on hazard mitigation and long-term sustainability. Within this section GCR is serving as prime author on the hazard mitigation chapter and the chapter dealing with sustainable design.
The New Orleans Master Plan and Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance will chart a course for New Orleans’ future for the next 20 years and aims to provide a user-friendly document that will facilitate both doing business and making a home in New Orleans.
