Scope and Content:: Maurice Finegold is an architect and urban planner who helped create the plan for the development of the Art Deco District on Miami Beach. His firm was commissioned in the early 1980s to create a development and impact study to be used to make the newly designated Art Deco District a viable economic reality. Finegold describes how and why his firm was chosen to do the study and the factors that they considered in writing the proposal that became the “Miami Beach Art Deco District Preservation and Development Plan.” ( en )
