As a response to the call for proposals for educational projects admitted by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) in 2013, University of Miami Associate Professor in Practice Carmen L. Guerrero, invited by the Universita degli Studi di Palermo, submitted a proposal for The Coral Gables: An American Mediterranean City. The project proposed exploring the European and Mediterranean ideas that shaped our City Beautiful as well as exposing the Italian architecture students to American City planning principals of the 20th century. The project was accepted and the course was delivered in Palermo, Sicily during November 4-14, 2013. Twenty-five architecture students participated in this intense workshop, which began with an overview of the urban history of Miami followed by a closer examination of the architecture and urban history of the city of Coral Gables.
