Hurricane Katrina was the costliest natural disaster to ever impact the United States: over 1,000 lives were lost and the City of New Orleans was nearly destroyed. Ten years after the storm, the City has made a remarkable recovery and by many measures is stronger than it was before the hurricane. As the ten-year anniversary approached, the City of New Orleans, in partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation, embarked on a project to tell the story of New Orleans’ comeback, as well as showcase the City as a global role model for what it means to build urban resilience in the face of substantial challenges.
