Miami
Intro
Located on the southeastern coast of Florida, Miami functions as a bridge between North America, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Its economy and identity are deeply shaped by transnational flows.
Background
Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Miami expanded through tourism, real estate, and trade. Cold War migration waves and regional finance transformed it into a hemispheric hub.
History
Founding and railroad expansion
Tourism and real-estate growth
Latin American migration and exile communities
Financial, logistics, and cultural globalization
Present Day
Miami hosts international banks, ports, and air hubs serving Latin America. Urban governance prioritizes resilience, real estate management, and positioning as a financial and cultural gateway.
Future Outlook
Miami will remain a key hemispheric connector. Long-term viability depends on climate adaptation, infrastructure investment, and managing speculative urban growth.
