Through the use of a city-wide form-based code, the City of Miami and Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company are teaming up to create a more walkable, transit-oriented city.
"Cities such as New York and Chicago invite residents and tourists to travel by foot to work, the grocery store or even a movie.
Now Miami, a city fueled by heavy traffic and inadequate public transportation, might remodel to become a city based on commuter-friendly principles.
Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, dean of the School of Architecture and partner to the architecture firm Duany, Plater-Zyberk & Co., is heading a project called Miami 21-Miami of the 21st Century.
Miami 21 is designed to change and update Miami's current zoning code by dividing the city into four quadrants and using an idea called "smart growth," which focuses on the relationship of one building to another rather than the building's use."
