摘要
迈阿密河是美国最短城市河流之一,同时也是佛罗里达州南部最古老的天然地标。迈阿密的意思是"甘甜的水",2500年以来迈阿密河一直是从沼泽地到比斯坎湾的淡水出水口。直到20世纪40年代,河流仍然主要呈自然状态。二战期间河流为船只生产制造业发挥了重要作用,而现如今沿河的使用主要面向海洋工业活动和国际航运。在过去30年里,社区领导和居民们已计划将河流从工业资源转变成为充满活力的社会资产。绿道公司被委托为"迈阿密河绿色行动计划"制定规划。计划进一步提高了河道的可达性和实用性,使其更好为企业、居民和游客服务;同时也促进了海洋工业活动的繁荣发展,提高了土地价值。此外,新增加的娱乐设施使得河流成为目的地景观。迈阿密的自然和文化遗产得到保护和改善,让子孙后代也能从中受惠。
The Miami River is one of the shortest urban rivers in the nation and oldest natural landmark in southern Florida. Miami means ＂sweet water,＂ and the river has for 2,500 years been the freshwater outlet from the Everglades to Biscayne Bay. Until the 1940＇s, the river remained principally natural. During World War Two, the river took on a significant role in the production of boat manufacturing and uses along the river are now heavily oriented toward marine industrial activity and international shipping. For the past three decades community leaders and residents have planned for the transformation of the River from an industrial resource to a vibrant community asset. Greenways Incorporated was commissioned to devise a plan of action for implementing the Miami River Greenway Action Plan. The resulting Plan has made the river more accessible and useable for businesses, residents and tourists; marine industrial activity is thriving and prospering; land values have steadily improved; new recreational amenities have made the river a destination landscape; and an important element of Miami＇s natural and cultural heritage has been protected and enhanced for future generations to enjoy.
