Miami Design Preservation League

The tale of two Miami Beach neighborhoods is a story of a recognized problem that existed for many years.  North Beach - an area from 63rd Street to 87th Street - was neglected while South Beach became recognized as the center of the universe for historic preservation ethic. This year, forty years after the Art Deco district’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places, North Beach is about to come alive again thanks to a Master Plan designed by the architectural planning firm of Dover Kohl and Partners.  Their study was a comprehensive plan for the designation of the area’s MiMo (Miami Modern) architecture and a redevelopment plan for the area’s Town Center that resulted in a zoning change approved by nearly 60% of the electorate. The panel will discuss current plans for North Beach as the example of preservation and new development working together. 
This is the second in a three-part festival lecture series on the Past, Present, and Future of Preservation in Miami Beach.
