How City Park Will Solve West Kendall's Biggest Problems
Carlos Gonzalez & Ed Easton
Miami is growing faster than almost any city in America — and the land to accommodate that growth is running out. In this episode, Carlos Gonzalez of Lennar and Ed Easton of The Easton Group join us to break down what smart growth actually looks like and how their City Park project in West Kendall is designed to address Miami-Dade's most pressing urban challenges. They walk us through the full City Park vision, what the development will offer residents, the process of working with the county, the Urban Development Boundary, traffic and connectivity solutions, Krome Avenue, and why building alternatives to driving is no longer optional for Miami's future. Ed also shares what he's witnessed since arriving in Miami in the 70s and why this moment feels different from anything before. This is the conversation about Miami's future that everyone needs to hear.
