Miami Gardens planners may take steps toward new MiMo look

“We could do more creative things associated with, if you will, The Jetsons,” said Jay Marder, director of the citys Development Services. He was talking about the possibility that the city could encourage future development in the Miami Modern style.

Marder and city consultants broached the topic during a workshop held April 3 to kick off the drafting of a proposal that would lay the groundwork for new development in Miami Gardens.

Miami Modern, or MiMo, the post-WWII style sometimes compared to the futuristic city drawn in The Jetsons cartoon and already incorporated through some sections of the city, could be used to create a physical identity for Miami Gardens, consultants from Iler Planning Group said.
