How Miami Neighborhoods Change | Juan Mullerat
Juan Mullerat · Plusurbia Design
What helps a neighborhood evolve without losing the people, places, and character that make it special?
About This Conversation
Host Irvans Augustin joins Juan Mullerat, founding principal of Plusurbia Design, for a conversation about how Miami’s neighborhoods grow and change.
Born in Barcelona, Juan describes the shock of moving from the UK to car-centric North Carolina and what it taught him about streets and public space. He reflects on Wynwood’s grit and people-led character, his work in Little Havana, The Underline’s transformation of the space beneath Metrorail, and the Shoreline, his proposal for the future of the Rickenbacker Causeway.
