Dutch Dialogues 2 – 2008 – New Orleans

Dutch Dialogues 2 was held in October 2008 and brought together 60 experts to jointly develop illustrative solutions and design approaches that could make New Orleans more flood-proof, sustainable, resilient, and attractive from both urban design and economic perspectives.

The second Dutch Dialogues spun off similar Dutch-American interactions in New York, Tampa Bay, San Francisco, and internationally in Taipei, Taiwan and Orangestad, Aruba. The resulting concepts and designs have been the topic of further study at Washington University in Saint Louis, University of Toronto, Tulane University, University of Virginia, University of New Orleans, Delft Technical University (The Netherlands), and Wageningen University (The Netherlands).
