Community Assets
Community-Led Design Projects
NONDC has connected residents to architects and student teams at the Tulane City Center to revise critical neighborhood assets.
A. L. Davis Park
Through a series of public meetings and focus groups, the design team came up with several design proposals for the park. The resident-led design process has resulted in a visioning document, produced by the Tulane City Center.
Keller Square
This year, community stakeholders convened with city representatives and TCC architects to discuss a redesign of the historic Keller Square formerly managed by the New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD).
Harmony Arts
As community partner on the CJ Peete redevelopment, NONDC has made it a priority to integrate public art into the new Harmony Oaks site. Projects include:
“Spirit Oak”
This youth mosaic and sculpture collaboration with YA/YA, Inc. (Young Aspirations/Young Artists) will create mosaic Live Oak leaves that will compose a walkway across the green space on S. Robertson Street near Louisiana Avenue at Harmony Oaks.
Big Chief Tootie
The Mardi Gras Indian Walk of Fame
Chiefs from the Mardi Gras Indian Council have worked with local artists and NONDC to design mosaic squares along Washington Street commemorating the rich history of the Mardi Gras Indians in Central City.
