    4 and 5 year reports of Post Katrina New Orleans. Still in a state of peril, but opportunity for replanning and Urban rebuild.

    This kinda has to do with more when we talked about cities pertaining to film but I thought it was cool.

    I thought this was a pretty cool image you might use for class. It seems to be a 1925 article about what someone thought our cities would look like in 1950.

    I thought this was pretty interesting since we were talking about what gravitates people towards certain cities, factors such as near water, economy, jobs, etc...

    Andrew Wonder is an urban historian & photographer, who tries to peel back the layers of a city to see what's underneath. From the tops of bridges to the depths of sewer tunnels, these explorations of the urban environment help puzzle together the interconnected, multi-dimensional history and complexity of the great metropolises of the world.
