Concrete, Culture, and Climate: The Story of Historic Overtown

What happens when rapid urbanization meets a historic community deeply rooted in place?

This guided walk through Historic Overtown lead by Keith Ivory (instagram: @Ivorytourguide) explores the environmental and policy decisions that have shaped the neighborhood—from the construction of highways through the community to today’s pressures of climate change and development.

Participants will explore how land use, environmental policy, and urban planning intersect with the lived experience of residents, offering a powerful lens into the broader conversation about climate gentrification in Miami.

Overtown’s story reminds us that climate conversations are not only about the future—they are also about history, memory, and the communities most impacted by environmental change.
