 The Great Parks Summit 2008 took place March 14, 2008 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens and brought leaders, visionaries, and activists together to share an inspirational vision for a more livable and sustainable South Florida.
The event marked the completion of the planning process for Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation’s new Park and Open Space System Master Plan, a policy framework and visionary document that will guide development and stewardship of parks and conservation open space into the 21st century.
At the 2008 summit, landscape architects, architecture and urban planning professionals, elected officials, governmental administrators, environmental activists, patrons of the arts, businesses, academia, and citizens engaged in a discussion about enhancing South Florida through innovative planning and stewardship of the public realm with a full day of lectures, a panel discussion, and exhibitions led by international leaders in public space advocacy.
