An art and cultural center providing education during the day and recreational bar and hub at night, would add a much needed local entertainment aspect to the university and progressing University City. This cultural art hub aims to reach out to the college community and surrounding residential neighborhoods, whether students or Sweetwater residents are interested in pursuing an artistic hobby for enjoyment, curiosity, and education or simply enjoying the option of local nightlife. HISTORY & TRENDS 1 CHAPTER OVERVIEW This chapter is an analytical description of the typologies associated with the project. It breaks down the history behind the typologies, as well as informing about significant trends currently influencing it. This information is used to guide our project’s design and to develop design guidelines.

The fusion of Latin, Caribbean, African and European influences has elevated Greater Miami on the world stage with a bravado uniquely its own, attracting a wide cross-section of visitors from around the globe. Signature destination marketing programs along with infrastructure and real estate investment have propelled Miami- Dade County as one of the fastest growing counties in the eastern U.S. in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Today, Greater Miami has entered a new era where it must address numerous challenges brought about by its status and success as a global destination. Specifically, with regard to the visitor economy, there are many complex issues relating to mobility, workforce development, inclusivity, affordability and sustainability that will require the public and private sectors to collaborate more intentionally than ever before to address effectively. The Strategic Plan for Greater Miami and the Beaches is a 5-year roadmap to outline how the local tourism and hospitality industry can navigate a future ripe with new opportunities amid those challenges. To inform the development of the plan, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), in partnership with the InterVISTAS and MMGY NextFactor consultant teams, convened key industry stakeholders, elected officials and hundreds of residents across the county.
