In 1981, Time magazine declared Miami "Paradise Lost." Forty years later, that story deserves a
rewrite — but not the one you might expect.
Urban pioneer Tony Cho has spent decades helping shape the neighborhoods that put Miami
on the map. In this talk, he takes an unflinching look at what we got right, what we got wrong,
and what cities everywhere must do differently if they want to survive — and thrive — in the
decades ahead. Drawing on Miami's improbable transformation as a case study, Tony
introduces a regenerative framework for how cities can be co-designed from the inside out: by
the communities who actually live in them.
This is not a talk about utopia. It's about the harder, more honest work of building places that
are resilient, affordable, and deeply alive — for everyone.
