The efforts resulted in the design of a cultural park being the home of two museums and an urban park. The renewed life of the park will have an affect on the surrounding Park West and Omni regions of the City of Miami. Included in the recommendations were modifications to the Florida Department of Transportation’s design for Biscayne Boulevard (US1). The new design was recommended to be more pedestrian friendly and livable to accompany the newly redesigned Bicentennial Park. The Miami City Commission and the Southeast Overtown / Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) adopted resolution SEOPW/CRA R-00-132 to coordinate the Downtown Miami Transportation Master Plan with the Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The result of this action is this Biscayne Boulevard Special Area Plan.

The sidewalks are inadequate in size to accommodate more than two people walking side by side. The Boulevard itself has two awkward traf- fic movements in it at the Port of Miami and under the I-395 underpass. At the Port, Biscayne Boulevard has an abrupt turn. At the I-395 underpass, the roadway has an S-curve path under it with all of the ramps to I-395 splitting off of it at sharp angles. Visibility is unsafe for South end of Biscayne Boulevard looking North any vehicles entering or exiting the highway. 6 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD SPECIAL AREA PLAN DRAFT BISCAYNE BLVD.

Wynwood Development Table of Contents 03 Project Overview 15 Conceptual Drawings 17 Location 20 Demographics 23 Site Plan 26 Building Efficiency 29 RelatedISG Project Overview Project This featured property is centrally located in one of Miami’s hottest and trendiest neighborhood, Wynwood. The 60,238 SF site offers the unique possibility to develop one of South Florida’s most ground-breaking projects. There has only been a select amount of land deals in the past few years available in this neighborhood, and it is not common to find anything over 20,000 SF on average. With its desirable size and mixed use zoning, one can develop over 300 units with a retail component. Wynwood has experienced some of the highest rental rates of any area of South Florida, exceeding $3 per SF, and retail rates exceeding $100 SF. As the area continues to grow and evolve into a world renowned destination, it is forecasted that both residential and retail rental rates will keep increasing. Major landmark projects such as the Florida Brightline and Society Wynwood, as well as major groups such as Goldman Sachs, Zafra Bank, Thor Equity and Related Group investing here, it is positioned to keep growing at an unprecedented rate.

ISSN 1534-6104 Miami Dade College and the Engaging Power of the Arts Eduardo J. Padrón Abstract In this essay, the president of Miami Dade College describes the anchoring role that the institution plays in the Miami met- ropolitan region, with a particular emphasis on the many arts and cultural contributions. These efforts, combined with the economic and workforce development endeavors, make Miami Dade College a model anchor institution. he Cuban revolution unfolded throughout the 1950s, cul- minating on January 1, 1959, when Fidel Castro’s forces rolled into Havana and took control of the island nation. TIn the 2 years that followed, more than 200,000 Cubans landed in Miami, beginning a dramatic demographic change for South Florida (United States Census Bureau, 2012). In the ensuing years, additional waves of Cuban, Haitian, and other immigrants from Central and South America forever changed the landscape of South Florida. Another event occurred in 1959, in Miami, that would prove essential in providing a pathway to economic and social integra- tion for this enormous influx of new residents. The State of Florida gave formal approval to launch a new junior college in Miami. Classes opened in 1960 with 1,428 students. By 1967, Dade Junior College had become the largest institution of higher education in the state of Florida, enrolling more than 23,000 students. It was also the fastest growing junior college in the nation. It enrolled more freshmen than the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of South Florida combined.

Millas Edited by Richard Longstreth 1999, revised 31 December 2017 This bibliography focuses on historical accounts written during the past three decades. Owing to the extent material, and the nature of much of its contents, I have made no attempt to separate popular from scholarly accounts or general histories from those that are devoted to the built environment. The basic divisions are geographical, followed by one on architects and landscape architects in the region. My gratitude goes to Melinda Cleary and Aristides Millas for compiling the core of these listings.

Ali 1 and Kheir Al-Kodmany 2,* 1 School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Urban Planning and Policy Department, College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612, USA * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]. Received: 26 July 2012; in revised form: 5 September 2012 / Accepted: 10 September 2012 / Published: 28 September 2012 Abstract: The tall building is the most dominating symbol of the cities and a human-made marvel that defies gravity by reaching to the clouds. It embodies unrelenting human aspirations to build even higher. It conjures a number of valid questions in our minds. The foremost and fundamental question that is often asked: Why tall buildings? This review paper seeks to answer the question by laying out arguments against and for tall buildings. Then, it provides a brief account of the historic and recent developments of tall buildings including their status during the current economic recession. The paper argues that as cities continue to expand horizontally, to safeguard against their reaching an eventual breaking point, the tall building as a building type is a possible solution by way of conquering vertical space through agglomeration and densification. Case studies of some recently built tall buildings are discussed to illustrate the nature of tall building development in their respective cities.
