Miami Design Preservation League

Often Historic Preservation is misinterpreted as “anti-development.”  However, the most forward thinking development is adaptive reuse, where Historic Districts allow the balance of thoughtful infill architecture, and existing resources to be considered as positive contributors to mitigation efforts of long-term resiliency and sustainability planning. Historic Preservation preserves the ability to change for future generations, while supporting the continuity of a community's inherent social resiliency. Existing resources should be considered part of our green infrastructure worthy of creative adaptation and public investment. This discussion will center on the future of historic preservation and solutions for the City of Miami Beach to be a leader in investing in adaptation solutions.
This is the third in a three-part festival lecture series on the Past, Present, and Future of preservation in Miami Beach.
