Brickell Backyard by James Corner Field Operations transforms the space underneath Miami’s elevated Metrorail into a lush linear park in one of Miami’s densest areas. As The Underline’s first built section, Brickell Backyard sets the tone for future phases of the 10-mile-long corridor with native gardens, improved pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and various active, passive, and cultural programs and public art.
Starting with Brickell Backyard, The Underline is linking adjacent neighborhoods with downtown Miami and other destinations through its bicycle and pedestrian paths that directly connect with the Miami-Dade transit system. In a city that has always been car-centric, this represents a fundamental shift. As a leading example for the region and by creating a central spine, the project sets the foundation for a robust network of sustainable mobility corridors throughout Miami.
