New Orleans had a jump-start on facing its destiny, hastened by failing infrastructure and a lack of political will. What has emerged is an engaged citizenry, determined to cultivate local solutions. We are learning every day what works, and what does not, in building the resilience of this city.
We, you, us: we are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Help us build the New Orleans Institute for Resilience and Innovation as a reliable and accurate resource for this city, and others, about what is really happening here.
