Southwest Streetscapes

A masterplan study bringing urban heat mitigation and resilience to the streets of Southwest Miami

The City of Miami commissioned Curtis and Rogers, with support from Local and BCC Engineering, to create a streetscape and tree master plan for South West Miami. The project spans 3 districts and 13 neighborhoods, and focuses on street tree analysis and replacement, Urban Heat Island mitigation and environmental justice to increase the city’s resilience.

The socioeconomic analysis combined community demographic data including age, ethnicity, income, and home values to determine the most vulnerable populations. The overlaid drawings of socioeconomic vulnerability, heat islands, and flood corridors defined priority zones for infrastructure updates.

The masterplan responds to environmental analysis and proposes a rigorous tree-planting strategy to mitigate both the urban heat island effect and flooding, and includes a tree planting toolkit designed for the city of Miami. These methods combine a green and blue infrastructure network that will increase the city’s water retention capacity.
