Are Linear Parks The Answer for Miami?

MIAMI—Miami is known for its enviable quality of life, but some forward-thinkers are working to enhance that quality with a strong focus on maximizing the value of public spaces. These forward-thinkers understand that the quality, character and distribution of public space has a fundamental impact on the quality of life in urban areas—and that public space can drive investment activity. 

A group of experts explored the potential for linear park initiatives in South Florida to have a transformative impact on the metropolitan area—and highlighted the extraordinary success and lessons learned from the High Line in New York—in a panel called “Creating Value: Urban Real Estate and Public Space” at the recent 2015 Real Estate Impact Conference.
