IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR! #FPC21 Call for Presentations Is Open!
Playing on the concepts of exploration and diversity, this theme seeks to highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of our region and our state. South Florida’s many layers (ecological, developmental, jurisdictional, ethnic and cultural, etc.) offer an opportunity for exploration, lessons learned, and a glimpse of a future that integrates, preserves and celebrates the most essential and desirable qualities of people and place. Importantly, racial considerations which have been longstanding should be considered here, understanding the need for discussion on the future of equitable outcomes that goes hand in hand with the celebration of diversity. The “layers of the Medianoche” create the narrative of South Florida: stories of inspiration, innovation, imagination and exploration of the future city.
