YOUNG URBANISTYOUNG URBANIST

Aaron DeMayo is a multi-disciplinary designer integrating natural solutions within the built environment to create more regenerative cities and sustainable coexistence of humans with Planet Earth. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Aaron has seen the City transform into a bustling Subtropical Metropolis. Having worked with many companies in diverse roles that help shape the built environment, he has developed a holistic understanding of a city’s complex processes, allowing him to work across various scales and typologies. As Founder of Future Vision Studios, he oversees projects, including architectural design, urban planning, mobility, landscape, and zoning policy.

Currently, Aaron serves as the Chair of the Underline Advocacy Committee, whose objective is to support The Underline’s efforts and advocate for safer connections to The Underline and the Miami Loop. In addition, Aaron is a member of the Traffic and Mobility working group, where he has assisted in ensuring adequate protected bicycle facilities and proper pedestrian crossings.

Aaron is also the Chair of the Urban Land Institute Young Leaders Group Resilience Subcommittee. In 2022, he co-led an effort to review the Miami 21 Task Force Recommendations Report. The result is the Miami 21 to 2100 White Paper, Zoning Recommendations for a more affordable, resilient, and sustainable adaptation of Miami.

Aaron serves as the District 2 Seat for the City of Miami Climate Resilience Committee, whose role is to recommend to the Commission changes to the City Code and policy that will help the City thrive in the face of all climate change threats. Storm surge, sea level rise, flooding from king tide, and extreme rain events, although influenced by different weather and climate events, are all related and must be addressed comprehensively across scales. Aaron created the Connect and Protect Miami project to begin the conversation and plan for these issues.

Meet the 2023 Honorees

LEGACY AWARD

Two Generations of Cervera Women

Over 53 years, Alicia Cervera has breathed life into new communities and revitalized existing ones.

Early in her career, she proved that vision and determination paid off. Born in Peru in 1930, the daughter of a Peruvian ambassador, in 1954, she married Javier Cervera, a Cuban plantation owner. With two daughters born in Havana, she immigrated to the United States in 1961 due to the Cuban Communist Revolution, where her son Javier was born in 1967.

Seeing the extraordinary potential of Brickell Avenue, in 1966, she and her husband purchased a piece of waterfront property that they had rezoned for multiple residences; this was the first official high-rise zoning in the area, the Brickell Avenue corridor.

In 1980 Ms. Cervera was joined by her daughters, Veronica Cervera Goeseke and Alicia Cervera Lamadrid; together, they grew Cervera Real Estate into a full-service organization.

As dynamic and active as ever, she thrives on sharing her secrets to closing and the art of negotiation. Yet not only the current generation benefits from her wisdom and savvy. Ms. Cervera has left an indelible footprint on South Florida's colorful real estate landscape, placing undying resolve, honesty, integrity, and the constant quest for knowledge at the forefront of success.

HONORARY URBAN WARRIOR

Dorothy Jenkins Fields, Ph.D.
A lyric voice for the black history of South Florida, Dorothy Jenkins Fields has devoted her life to preserving the heritage of the African-American community and raising awareness of African-American history to a national level. A Miami native, she is responsible for the establishment of Miami’s Black Archives, the designation and restoration of the landmark Lyric Theater and other historic sites, the creation of the Black Heritage Trail, and the designation of the Historic Overtown Folklife Village as a National Trust “Main Street” community. Fields was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities for her unprecedented research and documentation of African-American history.

A teacher and educator for Miami-Dade County Public Schools for more than 30 years, Fields began her career in 1964 after graduating from Spelman College. Then, in 1974, in preparation for the nation’s bicentennial, she began a search for curriculum materials on the black experience in South Florida. When she was unable to find any information about South Florida’s black history in any school or public library, she embarked on a journey that would become her lifelong professional mission.

The first step in her journey was to establish The Black Archives, a nonprofit manuscript, and photographic repository for the legacies of Miami’s black community. She was assisted in her effort by University of Miami history professor Gregory Bush, who introduced her to the field of public history. Later she earned her certification in archives administration at Emory University, a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction at the University of Northern Colorado, and a Ph.D. in 20th-century African-American history, historic preservation, and public history from The Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio.
