John Alexander Correa - Midtown 2100

Due to a history of segregation and redlining, the low-lying coastal communities are typical dominated by high-income white residents. As sea level rise encroaches, these high-income communities are being displaced and moving into the lower-income communities at higher elevations. This process has significantly increased property prices, displacing hundreds within the historically disenfranchised
neighborhoods in a process known as climate gentrification.

By 2100, mean sea level will exceed 2 meters above present day levels. At the current rate, millions will be unable to stay within South Florida due to climate gentrification. In order to preserve the regional cultural identity and minimize displacement of all residents of Miami-Dade county, this proposal primarily tackles the issue at the source by addressing the housing supply being incapable of meeting demand -
thus drastically inflating property prices. Simultaneously, addressing the primary contributing factor to sea level rise, greenhouse gas emissions, is addressed through sustainable methods that also improve the overall quality of life of the residents.
