An international symbol of the role of immigrants in the American story, Little Havana—named a National Treasure in 2017—is Miami’s most iconic neighborhood.
Yet poverty, displacement and other issues threaten this vibrant community, prompting the National Trust to create a road map for improving life for Little Havana's residents while protecting this one-of-a-kind place.
In partnership with local organizations led by PlusUrbia Design, and developed with input from more than 2,700 residents, stakeholders, and public health advocates, the award-winning revitalization plan focuses on building a healthy, equitable, and resilient neighborhood that retains its unique character.
Drawing on best practices from a variety of fields, the plan increases incentives, lowers barriers, and respects the existing heritage of Little Havana.
With this innovative tool in hand, Little Havana now has a path forward that will help future generations continue to thrive.
