SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
PlusUrbia’s
Juan Mullerat presented “Complete Districts – a New Placemaking Practice” to
the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority’s Planning Technical
Advisory Committee. SFRTA is the agency that operates Tri-Rail.
The concept
focuses on a network of clean, safe, but unique streets that together create a
Complete District. Simply put, cities are a balance between public and private
land, entities, enterprises and services. This balance is symbiotic where all
elements are part of a system and they depend on each other to function. It is
only when all are well-tuned and calibrated that they make great places.
The concept
of Complete Districts creates this balanced equation by taking a holistic
approach that couples the public with the private realms. It was conceived and
formulated by PlusUrbia Design’s team while working through workshops and
design exercises for a number of Transit Oriented Developments (TOD) and
award-winning District Revitalization projects that created compact, mixed-use,
vibrant districts.
