Disaster Capitalism in New Orleans: Whitewashed Urban Transformation after Hurricane Katrina
In this episode of Meteorology Matters, we dive into how Hurricane Katrina reshaped New Orleans, not just physically, but politically and economically. We uncover how “disaster capitalism” and neoliberal urban policies turned the city into a laboratory for privatization, gentrification, and displacement. From skyrocketing rents and the demolition of public housing to the cultural erasure of long-time Black residents, New Orleans became a model for how crises can accelerate inequality in American cities.🔑 Keywords: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans recovery, neoliberal urban policy, disaster capitalism, housing crisis, gentrification, inequality, post-Katrina, public housing, urban planning, disaster recovery, racial inequality.
