University of Miami Community Design and Development Studio in Hollywood, June 2-6, 2010

Hollywood, FL-More than 20 graduate students and 5 professors from the University of Miami's School of Architecture are in Hollywood this week to team with the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency (HCRA) to host a Community Design and Development (CDD) Studio. The CDD Studio assists communities with visioning, planning, design and development challenges through the combined resources of faculty and graduate students in real estate, urban design and architecture.


"With the market bouncing back, there's no better time to bring this type of expertise and energy to Hollywood as we prepare for reinvestment and positive redevelopment," says HCRA Executive Director Charlotte Burnett.


The students are part of UM's Masters program in Real Estate Development and Urbanism. Through research and meetings with residents, business interests and property owners, the CDD Studio in Hollywood will review existing code issues including current design guidelines for the HCRA and recommendations for updates, as well as a market analyses of the downtown and beach districts creating recommendations for retail-dining; residential; office; resort-hotel; arts, entertainment and culture; and medical & education.
