Miami

A Community-Inspired Urban Greenspace Bringing Miami Together

Miami’s Underdeck will connect two communities – Overtown and Downtown – that have been separated by a highway since the 1960s. Through an unprecedented community outreach and engagement effort, Miami has intentionally centered community in the design of the new, world-class public space that will be built beneath a redesigned highway overpass. The Underdeck’s mile-long heritage trail and outdoor amenities, including an amphitheater, community plaza and children’s play area, will bring people together and bridge communities through shared space and experiences.

"This is the community’s project. We need to ensure that there are a plethora of voices at the table. Not only because that’s necessary to move this forward, but because that is what will make this public space great."
–Rebecca Mandleman, Chair, Underdeck Subcommittee Advisory Group
In Miami, we are thrilled about the Underdeck. We believe in the power of interactive and connective urban greenspace to bring us together and strengthen our city.
