- Coastal cities such as Miami face increasing challenges from tidal flooding, storm surge, and extreme sea level rise, necessitating new adaptation approaches.
- The focus in Miami and Florida is shifting to living with water and adapting designs to accommodate rising water levels, rather than trying to stop the water.
