These incorporate changes in regional hydrology, geology and vegetation across the region. The animations also trace transformations effected over a century of regional urbanization, tracking the development of the hard and soft infrastructure networks that pushed back wetlands, created land, and formed our cities. Water; transportation; trade and governance networks are mapped, as are land formation and urban growth; and density of population and building fabric. Landmark events and the effects of predicted inundation in the years ahead are also documented here. Taken in conjunction with the understanding of our environment provided by scientific data, these maps point to a critical need for new development strategies that result in hybrid urban environments --ones that intertwine natural and man-made systems in a more compact, better connected, and truly diverse urban ecology..

Fitzpatrick's Miami River Plantation
Richard Fitzpatrick's South Florida, 1822-1840 Part II: Fitzpatrick's Miami River Plantation By Hugo L. Black III* During the 1820's, most of the land in southeast Florida was owned by the government. By 1825, only six private claims from the Spanish period had been validated: the Polly Lewis, Jonathan Lewis, and Rebecca Hagan (Egan) Donations on the South side of the Miami River, the James Hagan (Egan) Donation on the North side of the Miami River, the Mary Ann Davis Donation on Key Biscayne, and the Frankee Lewis Donation on the New River.1 Notwithstanding the lack of settlement, even during this period, southeast Florida's suitability for plantations was recognized. James Egan emphasized this suitability in the following advertisement run on numerous occasions in the Key West Register during 1829, in which he offered his land on the Miami River for Sale: For Sale A Valuable Tract of LAND Near Cape Florida Situated on the Miami River. The Land is very good and will produce Sugar Cane and Sea Island Cotton, equal if not superior to any other part of the *Hugo Black, III, is a resident of Miami, a former state legislator, a graduate of Yale, and presently attending law school at Stanford University.
