Title
Rising Seas and Rising Inequality: A Look at Climate Gentrification in Miami
Subject
Climate Gentrification
Description
With global sea levels projected to rise significantly in the coming decades, coastal cities as we know them today are at risk. Miami's metropolitan area, particularly the densely inhabited barrier island of Miami Beach, is one of the areas at most risk for severe sea level rise impacts in the United States. Implications of sea level rise in Miami include infrastructure and property damage, limits on the region's tourism-based economy, increased flooding, among many others. One of the least-discussed implications, unsurprisingly, is the potential for climate gentrification as sea levels rise.
