1. Rebuilding New Orleans
Bring New Orleans Back Plan, Lambert Plan, & Unified New Orleans Plan

2. Frustratingly Slow
With billions allocated to rebuilding the gulf coast, Louisiana Recovery Act was set up to oversee allocation of Federal Funding
Different schools of thought presented different plans: Top-down vs. Bottom-up methods.
Slow return: no representation of city to vote and establish a plan

3. Bring New Orleans Back (BNOB) Plan
Establish a central organization to oversee redevelopment efforts
Immediately invest in the least damaged areas of the city’s commercial, industrial, and historical core
Reimburse homeowners property to full pre-Katrina value
Launch housing reconstruction in “target areas”
Planning would be done at the neighborhood level

4. The Lambert Plan
Decision making power rests with neighborhood organizations and local residents
Neighborhoods were responsible for creating and beginning plans for their local area
Excluded local officials who would be held responsible for the implementation of the rebuilding effort

5. Unified Now Orleans Plan (UNOP)
Revise Pubic Education System
Restore Physical and Social Infrastructure
Rebuild Neighborhood-based health care networks
Maintain housing availability for all incomes
Promote New Urbanism concepts
Provided incentives for flood-mitigating building
Prioritize rebuilding based on repopulation and flood risk

6. UNOP
Neighborhood’s develop plans and submit for approval to a centralized organization withdrawn from the political realm
