Before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans’s Lower 9th Ward was home to an estimated 18,000 people. But five years later, only about a quarter of that number live in the hard-hit neighborhood. Andrew Curtis, a university researcher, leads a team of students and local community members that is documenting the substantial changes in the area. Take a tour of the evolving landscape of the Lower Ninth Ward and read what local residents and researchers have to say.
