First, you have to jack the city up by about 15 feet; then....

The enviro "experts" were worried about all the toxic water the flood brought?

It's below sealevel.
New Orleans should not suffer a fate any different than Times Beach, Missouri or Valmeyer, Illinois, or any of a myriad of small towns and settlements built too closely to the Mississippi and it's tributaries over the centuries.
Preserve the "Crescent", if you really gotta' do that, but relocate everybody and everything. Bring in the gators and some subtropical crocidiles. Build a big fence. Nature will take care of the rest.

It could be a proof-of-concept city for all those innovations you see in the middle of "Popular Science" that are always "just around the corner."

Build everything 20 feet above the surface and let people use paddle boats for transportation.

Remember when they tried to make the
Kansas City School System into the multicultural system of the future? Throwing "unlimited" government money (actually, the people's money) into solving social problems has worked in the following cases:

Check out Skyway Express for an interesting alternative to light rail or buses for public transit.

As long as we don't have to wear those weird spandex suits they always seemed to be wearing in the "city of tomorrow"...
Actually, I think it would be a great idea to work out a creative plan and put in all sorts of neat gadgets. But it will only work if a lot of it is somehow turned over for competition in the private sector. Otherwise we'd have something sort of like any government facility - Leavenworth, say.

Really do it futuristically - build the top floors before you build the bottom ones. As long as the taxpayers are paying for it.
