AFVN University of Miami Amplifying Community Voices

Building upon the Office of Civic and Community Engagement's work, "Amplifying Community Voices" will expand data analytics and digital storytelling to highlight the historical relationship between urban growth and environmental change. We will examine how past land use practices and community development policies have shaped present-day neighborhood. By analyzing environmental data and producing historical narratives, we will equip communities with tools to understand environmental impacts and participate in creating impactful solutions. Through partnerships with organizations like Catalyst Miami, CLEO Institute, and Miami Homes for All, we will address the needs of communities facing affordability and environmental challenges, advancing effective environmental resilience and housing stability.
