As an Sustainable Planning major in Huxley College I will be expanding my education with a week long trip to the beautiful New Orleans this summer. My time in the Big Easy will be focusing on a few specific points such as:
- Examining New Orleans' historic development and contemporary situation
Understanding the relationship between the physical city and its natural setting
Learning firsthand about plans for neighborhoods, historic preservation, transportation and resilience
Touring the Lower 9th Ward via Brad Pitt's 'Make It Right Foundation'
Participating in LUMCON research station's guided canoe tour of marsh ecology and boat trip to Barrier Islands
- Discovering the catastrophic impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Gulf Coast wildlife
 |
The devastating effects of the BP Deepwater
Horizon Oil Spill. |
I'm very excited to be able to take my education into the field. The point of this blog is to bring what I am learning to my followers because I believe that sustainable planning efforts are a very important part of the Green Revolution. As I prepare for this course I will continue to post about what I am learning here on campus.
