Description
Economic developers, city planners, local nonprofits, and advocates are at a fundamental impasse: Often the priorities of those who hold the development dollars differ from those of cultural preservationists. Treme’ is noted as one of New Orleans' oldest neighborhoods and a community with a rich cultural heritage significant to American and Black history. Through this session, learn about the history of the Treme’ corridor and hear how economic development, community stakeholder, and culture bearers/advocates are leveraging equity- and place-based models to preserve culture, address gentrification concerns, and mitigate the commodification of culture.
