New Orleans is a major United States port city and historically the largest city in Louisiana. Its status as a world-famous tourist destination is due in part to its architecture, music, cuisine, its annual Mardi Gras, and other celebrations and festivals. Once the largest city in Louisiana, it's population declined and it became the second most populous city in the state, after Baton Rouge, as residents fled the onset of Hurricane Katrina. Recent estimates, however, show the city's population steadily returning to its pre-Hurricane Katrina level. It still remains the largest metropolitan area in the state.
New Orleans' tallest building is the 51-story One Shell Square. Construction of the 70-story Trump International Hotel & Tower will begin in Summer 2007; when complete, it will be the tallest building in the city and state at the proposed height of 716 feet. New Orleans is now entering what could become a large downtown residential building boom, with multiple high-rise towers already planned for the city.
