Juan Mullerat is honored to present "Affordable Pockets for Healthy
Living: Little Havana USA" at the American Planning Association Florida
statewide conference coming up in September in Tampa.
Inner city neighborhoods such as Miami’s Little Havana have good bones, but need urban interventions to increase healthy living.
We’ll explore both
assets (including high density to support public transit; affordable housing in
close proximity to jobs) and challenges including lack of park space for
healthy recreation, limited access to fresh food and a zoning code that
prevents infill with small units and no parking.
For a fraction of what
exurbs or new towns cost, the inner city can be retrofitted in a more
sustainable manner.
