Huffington Post: Undoing Miami's Paved Paradise

Jan 17, 2017
by The Underline
Introduction
The Nature Conservancy's Managing Director for Global Cities, Pascal Mittermaier interviews Friends of The Underline's CEO/President Meg Daly. I recently met Meg Daly, the visionary behind The Underline: a 10-mile long, nature-inspired cycle and pedestrian track that will run through the heart of Miami alongside US Route 1. Inspired by similar projects in New York City, Seoul and Austin, The Underline’s 100 feet by 10 mile design, with 120 total acres of open space, will also incorporate green infrastructure systems to manage storm water; improve urban air and mitigate heat; promote biodiversity; and provide recreation space for millions for people.
