Note that most are individual buildings or groups of sculptures - but unusually, the entire city of New Orleans is now listed. "Rather than highlighting a single landmark, the nomination frames the city as an irreplaceable living cultural landscape: a place where historic neighborhoods, vernacular architecture, public traditions, water, culture and daily life are inseparable.
