Rising Waters, Rising Hope: Land Use & Real Estate for Resiliency
Miami-Dade, FL
Miami-Dade County, a vibrant coastal area, faces a growing threat – rising sea levels.
Rising sea levels are pushing residents further inland, impacting affordability and displacing historic neighborhoods. This isn't just about rising water; it's about economic justice, community resilience, and innovative solutions.
Join this dynamic Winter Quarter course as we explore the threatened state of urban planning in environmentally-vulnerable areas. We'll delve into policy solutions, community advocacy efforts, and how architecture can adapt. Through case studies and debates, you'll gain the knowledge and tools to become part of the solution. Can Florida’s coast become a model for climate-resilient land use and real estate? Let's find out together.
