The vibrant culture of New Orleans is important to rebuilding the city because it is the basis of social interaction. Rebuilding is expensive, but the cultural value of New Orleans is immeasurable.

“Sufficient cultural infrastructure, knowledge, and material exist for the New Orleans landscape to be able to sustain itself – traditions of literature, decoration, music, food, spiritual life, architecture, inhabiting the land, and on and on are intact.” -Randall Mason
