Last week our Urban and Recreational Green Infrastructure Coordinator, Isabella Guttuso Browne, joined a round table for the National Park Service’s Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program in Miami, Florida. The Center strives to explore opportunities between sustainable nature-based recreation and conservation planning. Programs like these are essential for making sure Floridians have equitable access to nature and valuable green spaces.
We thank the National Park Service for the Center's invitation, and to U.S. Department of Interior Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Shannon A. Estenoz, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, and Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces for hosting the discussion.

Congratulations Carla! UF College of Design, Construction and Planning Florida Institute for Built Environment ResilienceCongrats to FIBER Assistant Director Carla Brisotto on winning the Third Book Prize for the best planning history edited work or anthology written in English. Books must have been published in the previous two calendar years to the International Planning History Society (IPHS) international conference!
Citation: “The collection edited by Carla Brisotto and Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira discusses how lessons from past urban planning experiences can inform current debates around urban agriculture and city-country relationships. Its chapters document different ways in which experts in landscape architecture, urban planning, and environmental sciences reconceptualized urban-rural connections and explore the role of agricultural production and green infrastructure in creating multifunctional landscapes that support biodiversity, ecological health, and community well-being. The anthology provides a solid base for the future development of policy and governance frameworks needed to tackle environmental challenges.”
