Конкурс проводится с целью выбора команды, которая займется разработкой проекта реконструкции/климатической адаптации парка имени Хосе Марти на Майами-Ривер. Проект является частью программы «Сохранение течений: проблема повышения уровня моря в Большом Майами». Находясь на уровне моря, рядом с рекой, и будучи подверженным регулярным наводнениям, парк Хосе Марти может стать образцом адаптивного парка будущего.

Van Alen Institute and the City of Miami today announce the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the climate-adaptive redesign of Jose Marti Park, a popular 13-acre public facility on the Miami River in the East Little Havana neighborhood.
Van Alen’s introduction of climate adaptation to the project scope solidified the City’s commitment of $940,000 to the budget for the early phases of the redesign. The Jose Marti Park project is part of Keeping Current: A Sea Level Rise Challenge for Greater Miami, Van Alen’s multi-year inquiry into how cities and communities can use design as a catalyst for adapting to climate change.
“This is the kind of project that highlights Miami’s strengths,” said Mayor Francis Suarez, “We have a strong and engaged community with new ideas that bring people together to face our challenges as a city.”
“By involving the people who live here in the design process and incorporating resilience, this project will both protect and engage people as it showcases creative design strategies,” says Van Alen Institute’s Director of Strategic Initiatives Jessica Lax.
“The City of Miami is in the unique position to lead by example as many communities around the world prepare to tackle environmental issues,” says City Manager Emilio Gonzalez. “As a global city, we are opening up this competition to the international design community to be sure to attract the best expertise to the opportunity before us.”
“At sea level, alongside a river, and subject to flooding on a regular basis, Jose Marti Park can become the model for the adaptive waterfront park of the future,” says the City’s Chief Resilience Officer Jane Gilbert. Ms. Gilbert is playing a crucial role in working closely with the community and Van Alen to ensure that the solution strategies will help the City of Miami serve the present and future needs of its diverse residents while making the city more sustainable, resilient, and attractive.
“We’re delighted to have Van Alen Institute and the City working with us to bring the local people into the process,” says Madelyn R. Llanes, Director of Centro Mater Childcare Center in Little Havana. “Together we can make sure this is our park for our people and reflects our creativity and diversity.”
