A new vision for the Miami riverfront : designing the downtown riverwalk of Miami, FL

This proposal will cover research, analysis, and design of the new vision for the Miami Riverfront. This comprehensive venture in landscape architectural design is an effort to socially, economically, and ecologically revitalize the current urban void of the Miami River. This project is innovative in a number of ways: [1]looking at how the pedestrian will approach, circulate, and interact with an urban river. [2]utilizing an ecological network of urban forests and living docks to mitigate pollution and improve the overall health of the Miami River and surrounding urban core. [3]creating an evolving riverfront that attracts and provides entertainment for visitors of surrounding communities and tourists alike. The design process illustrated throughout this proposal culminates in the urban revitalization of the Miami Riverfront
