There’s a revolution taking place in a
number of municipalities throughout Broward County. The
future is at stake and these cities are striving to take
control of the development and growth that will sustain them
well into this century.
Along the coast, the old “urban” city
centers are taking an evolutionary approach to redevelopment
and renewal by rallying around their historical roots. In
the suburbs, the cities have started a revolution by reining
in the faceless sprawl and defining new city centers to
attract new urban development.
Whether its urban renewal or suburban
revival, you’ll meet the people spearheading these efforts,
learn about their plans, find out who is taking action and
what development and investment opportunities are available.

Suburban Revival
After nearly 30 years of unprecedented “suburbanization”,
many of the western communities of Broward are trying to recapture a “sense
of community” by creating their own “city centers” or “downtowns”. The
Panel, comprised of developers, elected officials and governmental staff,
will examine this phenomenon, and endeavor to explain how and why this is
happening in suburbia.
