SUSTAINABILITY SOLUTIONS IN THE SUNSHINE STATE

EVERYBODY WINS WHEN FLORIDA’S 

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IS PROTECTED


The City of Miami Beach is investing roughly $1 billion in resiliency.

Without a lot of wiggle room on a highly developed sand bar, the city is creating parks and rebuilding existing ones to handle stormwater.

Bayshore Park will retain a central lake featuring a boardwalk.

The nearly 20- acre park will feature meadows, jogging trails and walking paths—all woven into residency features. Brittany Bay Park on the Intracoastal Waterway uses a living shoreline to protect the community from storms and sunny-day flooding.

Maurice Gibb Park increases resiliency by raising the seawall, increasing drainage capacity, planting native trees and creating a living shoreline of mangroves.
