To address recurrent flooding and heat islands in low-income neighborhoods in New Orleans, the City has designed the Gentilly Resilience District, a combination of efforts across Gentilly to reduce flood risk, slow land subsidence, and encourage neighborhood revitalization. The project is focused on reducing flood risks and urban heat through permeable pavement, green infrastructure, and retrofitting parks to store stormwater while enhancing community spaces. This community-driven adaptation project centers social equity and ensures underserved areas benefit from green infrastructure investments.
