The pink areas represent each of the proposed new homes
Actor Brad Pitt has said he expected 150 homes to be built in an area of New Orleans destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, as part of a project he is backing.
The 43-year-old Hollywood star, who has pledged $5m (£2.4m) of his own money to the initiative, made an appeal for further donations to the fund.
Each house in the city's Lower Ninth Ward, which was deluged by flooding in 2005, will be built on stilts.
Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie own a mansion in New Orleans' French Quarter.
Their home in the fashionable district is said to be valued at some $3.5m (£1.7m).
