As far as New Urbanism, I don't know what the technical term for hair-brained urban planning ideas from the 1970s is. "New Urbanist" seemed to fit. Oops.
New Urbanism is old urbanism. There is nothing about tearing out part of Treme to build a part that is new urbanist. I think you were looking for "urban revitalization", which is the nutty ideas that ripped out of architectural and urban soul of America.

Er, yeah what he said ^
