The Houma-Thibodaux-Bayou Cane Metropolitan statistical region can position itself for a future economy by realigning itself physically with infrastructure associated with the resource extraction industry, utilizing this new organizing feature as a social and economic anchor. Much like Bayou Lafourche and Interstate 10 acted as physical, linear loci for urban alignment during prior economic epochs, a large-scale oil and gas pipeline can be utilized in an analogous manner as a conduit through which services, goods, and information can be transmitted across an economic region. The alignment in question proposes that existing political boundaries (towns) be redefined according to economic function, that different aspects of urbanization (housing, industry, education/research, food production, and leisure) become concentrated within these new political designations, and that finally, these designations align themselves physically with the pipeline itself. Traditional city and town names have given way to function-based nomenclature. The potential alignments are illustrated here via a series of photographic postcards. These postcards act as visions of the future, where the grit and grime currently associated with industrial development is supplanted by an idyllic and vaguely propagandistic sentiment reminiscent of Post-War development in the United States.  This project is a part of the ongoing research and exhibition project, 3 Continents, which intends to research, catalog, and project potential futures for urban regions located in the respective deltiatic locales of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rotterdam, Netherlands; Houston, Texas; and Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana.
