In \u003ci\u003eCityscapes of New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e, Campanella--a historical geographer and professor at Tulane University--reveals the why behind the where, delving into the historical and cultural forces that have shaped the spaces of New Orleans for over three centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Campanella, every bewildering street grid and linguistic quirk has a story to tell about the landscape of Louisiana and the geography of its bestknown city. \u003ci\u003eCityscapes of New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e starts with an examination of neighborhoods, from the origins of faubourgs and wards to the impact of the slave trade on patterns of residence. Campanella explains how fragments of New Orleans streets continue to elude Google Maps and why humble Creole cottages sit alongside massive Greek Revival mansions. He considers the roles of modern urban planning, environmentalism, and preservation, all of which continue to influence the layout of the city and its suburbs. In the book's final section, Campanella explores the impact of natural disasters as well-known as Hurricane Katrina and as unfamiliar as \"Sauvé's Crevasse,\" an 1849 levee break that flooded over two hundred city blocks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCityscapes of New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e offers a wealth of perspectives for uninitiated visitors and transplanted citizens still confounded by terms like \"neutral ground,\" as well as native-born New Orleanians trying to understand the Canal Street Sinkhole. Campanella shows us a vibrant metropolis with stories around every corner.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Campanella\u003c\/b\u003e, a geographer with the Tulane School of Architecture, is the author of eight books about New Orleans, including \u003ci\u003eBourbon Street: A History, Bienville's Dilemma, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGeographies of New Orleans.\u003c\/i\u003e A two-time winner of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book of the Year Award, Campanella has also received the Louisiana Library Association's Literary Award, the Williams Prize for Louisiana History, and the Monroe Fellowship from Tulane's New Orleans Center for the Gulf South.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 9.23 x 6.15 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367870345521,"sku":"9780807188033","price":37.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/jpv3EyHTIO9780807188033.webp?v=1789775507","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/cityscapes-of-new-orleans-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
