Plusurbia Partners with Miami-Dade County to Launch Four Interactive Story Maps

Miami’s identity is etched in its past. A vibrant history that continues to shape the Magic City’s present and future.

This year, Plusurbia partnered with the Miami-Dade County’s Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) to develop four interactive StoryMaps that bring the county’s vibrant history to life. Each StoryMap explores a unique chapter in Miami-Dade’s development, from agriculture and architecture to land development and preservation, illustrating how the past continues to influence the region’s culture, economy, and urban form.

These StoryMaps aim to make local history more accessible to residents, students, and visitors alike—inviting everyone to explore, learn, and connect with the stories of our shared past.

You can explore the StoryMaps directly via the links below:

• Historic Preservation in Miami-Dade County
• Miami-Dade County’s Architectural Legacy
  
• The History of Agriculture in Miami-Dade County
• 1920s Themed Developments in Miami-Dade County

As part of this effort, Plusurbia also worked with the County and local municipalities to create a Historic Resource Guide. The guide provides residents and property owners with a detailed overview of every locally designated historic site in Miami-Dade County and how preservation works at the local level.
