2021 ULI Hines Student Competition Honorable Mention: "The Prairie" – University of Miami
February 23, 2021
Entry Title: The Prairie
Team Code: 2021-2813
School: University of Miami
The Prairie builds on the history of Kansas City and the future of agronomy to establish the East Village as the home of the North American Food Innovation Hub. Integrating research and implementation to address climate change and population growth, bio-tech and food sciences, the global reach of the NAFI Hub will guide strategies to feed the world while providing a new contributor to the constellation of Kansas City’s landmark neighborhoods.
Jury Comments: The jury praised the team’s creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. They particularly appreciated that the proposal created a draw to the area with the inclusion of native prairie land and a food hall.
