Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk is one of the founders of Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company, Architects and Town Planners (DPZ), a leader in New Urbanism, and an important voice in the development of urban Miami. In an interview with Miami New Times she says: "This is a time of great opportunity in Miami to change things through building. Except for a few places [like] Coral Gables, Miami Springs, and Miami Beach, in most areas building was a response to the market -- it's like a lot of America's landscape. It's part of our tradition ... it's generic and our development reflects this character."
