[edit] art deco/miami

Most of the buildings which were built by wealthy Parsis sport an art deco look that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Miami in the United States is the only city in the world that has more art deco buildings along the seafront than Mumbai.

What is the context here for art deco? Chicago's lake shore drive is also a nice street with many artistic buildings including the historic drake hotel.
