Florida - It's a land of swamps and islands, beautiful yet for much of its history remote, a backwater jutting into the Gulf of Mexico. Today though, it's the third most populous state in the country, a global tourist destination, a diverse meeting point of cultures from across the hemisphere, and a state that year after year, decade after decade, has been one of the fastest growing places in America, a place whose name is known the world over. This is its story.
Thanks to Dr. Jorge Duany and Dr. Fernando Rivera for sitting down for interviews with me. There was so much more from our conversations that I would have loved to include, and their input was super helpful in guiding my research.
Huge thanks to my dad for traveling all across the state with me for a week and a half, catching ballgames and being the man behind the camera! You made this thing happen!
