Miami Beach, FL (Miami-Dade County)
The Miami Beach Architectural District can be divided into three major neighborhood types based on function and use -- the seasonal hotel area, the commercial strips, and the residential area. Architecturally, these zones are easily recognized and coincide with the long-established street configuration. The seasonal hotel area is concentrated along Ocean Drive from 5th Street to 15th Street and along Collins Avenue from 6th Street to 23rd Street.
The Miami Beach Architectural District is significant because the approximately 125 square block area (bounded by 6th Street on the south, Alton Road on the West, Lincoln Road and 23rd Street on the north and the Atlantic Ocean on the east) contains the largest resort architecture in the concentration of the 1920s and 1930s era resort architecture in the United States. More than 800 architecturally significant buildings have been identified which date from the 25-year period (roughly 1920-1945) when the city of Miami Beach was being promoted and developed as a tropical playground.
Ocean Drive (which terminates at 15th Street) has the only hotels which actually face the Atlantic Ocean. These period hotels front Lummus Park, a public park and beach which extends from 5th to 15th Street, in an uninterrupted line of nearly uniform scale, set back and architectural style. (1)

Participating institution: Miami Dade College, FL, USA
Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:
Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;
Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;
Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and
Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.
Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.

Miami Beach, FL (Miami-Dade County)
South Beach, also nicknamed SoBe, is a neighborhood in the city of Miami Beach, Florida, United States, located due east of Miami city proper between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The area encompasses Miami Beach south of Dade Boulevard.
This area was the first section of Miami Beach to be developed, starting in the 1910s, due to the development efforts of Carl G. Fisher, the Lummus Brothers, and John S. Collins, the latter of whose construction of the Collins Bridge provided the first vital land link between mainland Miami and the beaches.
The area has gone through numerous artificial and natural changes over the years, including a booming regional economy, increased tourism, and the 1926 hurricane, which destroyed much of the area. As of 2010, 39,186 people lived in South Beach. (1)
