They have been looking to get the funding called the "Miami World Center" since 2001ish. Those were the lots by the Freedom Tower. (http://miamiworldcenter.com/)<br /><br />The other lots by Boulevard shops and the Omni stop are owned by the Miami Herald and are in a pending land deal for a developer as well.<br /><br />With developers and speculators buying up and demolishing land, the former Miami Arena getting bulldozed, the expiration of the Omni Mall--the structure adjacent to the Omni stop (which has since been renovated as Class A office and retail spaces), you just have to close your eyes and see it in use 10-15 years.<br /><br />I grew up in Boston and agree they aren't logical, but that public transport infrastructure went in place around 25 years ago. Hell, how old is the T? In due time, the Metromover may make sense with new devlopments. <br /><br />Ironically, Miamians are too fond of the luxury of their car's AC regardless to leave their cars June-October.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079297043552042968.post-28015197096300198182010-01-08T14:30:26.188-05:002010-01-08T14:30:26.188-05:00Miami 21 is an impressive code - already being use...Miami 21 is an impressive code - already being used as a model by other cities in the United States. As a Miami resident, I worry what it means that the new mayor is against it. The fact is, it already passed and he is still trying to put a stop to it. I walk around my city and people think I'm a streetwalker.

The closest station to our hotel was a full five flights above ground, and the elevator basically dumps you out behind some buildings by their loading docks. I took the northern Omni loop and found some of the stops surrounded by vacant lots on all sides. A security officer asked me what I was doing there, and told me it wasn't safe.

The monorail, circling monotonously over eerily depopulated downtown streets, is a symptom of this anomaly. My misgiving about Miami21 is that it appears to be code-centric ...where is the actual integrated plan? Am I just not reading the website carefully enough to find the comprehensive plan element? I see "related categories" listed, but I hope the code is not so disembodied that it merely substitutes one utopia of lists for another. Ignore things critical to healthy economic development and good luck getting your Photoshop visions. How Miami envisions and deals with structural issues, namely, its position in the global economy, how its multi-modal transportation strategy evolves, what saner development types will aim to deliver, etc, are elements that I would be stressing upfront. It would help to see a vision statement and an outline of main goals and principles... <br /><br />Having said that, this is a great development for cities, and hopefully Miami will gain the flexibility it needs to be a creative enterprise city. It is an important magnet for cultural production, and being released from the shackles of use-based codes it can perhaps gain the flexible urbanism needed to be a true economic powerhouse. Miami has the potential to be a LA/NYC-like cultural magnet of Latin America.

The challenge will be to figure out how to transition away from its current auto orientation; not easy, given how much and where Miami is overbuilt. (A little Philadelphia pet peeve here: Miami got 10X more foreclosure transition money from the feds because of some ill-conceived formula, never mind that most of Miami's foreclosures are brand-new condos and most of Philly's are old rowhouses truly in need of rehab.) The code seems a step in the right direction, but it's nice to get a planner's take on the matter. Thanks for sharing!LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127870226377459490noreply@blogger.com
