Seven50 Plan for Southeast Florida
Seven50
(“seven counties, 50 years”) is a blueprint for growing a more
prosperous, more desirable Southeast Florida during the next 50 years
and beyond. The plan was developed to help ensure a vibrant and
resilient economy, and stewardship of the fragile ecosystem in what is
quickly becoming one of the world’s most important mega-regions.
Spearheaded by the South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Councils and the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership (SFRP), a unique collaboration of more than 200 public, private, and civic stakeholders, Seven50 mapped the strategy for the best-possible quality of life for the more than six million residents of Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties.
The plan was devised through a series of public summits, workshops, online outreach and high-impact studies led by the region’s top thinkers. Seven50 has been made possible by a grant from the US Department of Housing & Urban Development’s Sustainable Communities Initiative.
Spikowski Plannning Associates assisted a consulting team led by Dover, Kohl & Partners of Coral Gables, Florida. This planning effort was given the 2016 Charter Award from Congress for the New Urbanism
