Little Havana, Overtown, Little Haiti, Flagami are seeing some activity
Do you have any examples of that development? Links to plans or proposals? Or maybe development currently under construction? Another poster mentioned Miami has upzoned areas in the city. Has that happened in those neighborhoods?

They won't be Brickell, Edgewater, Wynwood they will see improvements
Miami is a great city with high growth, but its weakness will be global warming/flooding. Weather is also an issue in the Summer. it’s also a little far from the rest of the population, so most have to fly to get there, so few manufacturers will put plants there.
All true. But if the US starts taking a more progressive approach to climate change and rising sea levels, Miami could be saved. Summer weather in Miami is oppressive, but tbh I'd prefer 92 and humid than 115 and dry in LV/Phoenix. And it might be far from a big portion of the northeast/west coast population, but it's basically a de facto capital of Latin America. Yes, it's also not that close to a lot of Latin America either, but it's in a pretty good geographic location to be effective in both the US and Latin America.
Yes, these plans and proposals are exactly what I’m talking about.
It's odd to disregard developments that are on the waterfront for South Florida, especially given how much more urban it is going to get and how radical that transformation will likely bbe. The South Florida metropolitan area runs along the waterfront in a long linear north-south axis--the other side is the protected Everglades. Plus, that waterfront isn't even the eastern edge of development. South Florida has a ton of barrier islands (including where Miami Beach is) which is the actual eastern edge of development.

The disregard for waterfront development is only to remain true to the point of the thread. The thread is supposed to be about neighborhoods that lack urban development. Most cities are building in downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. The question is, what kind of development is moving in blighted neighborhoods that aren’t that urban currently? Those are the neighborhoods that need the most attention.
The area of urban development isn’t that big moving West from the water.

But a lot of Miami, the city, wasn’t all that developed around the water. Edgewater and its development is a very recent affair and many of the neighborhoods that constitute the Upper Eastside are neither very affluent nor particularly densely developed.
I didn't know metrorail got new cars. They look lovely.
Miami-Dade county is replacing it's entire 136 car fleet with Hitachi cars made at a plant in Medley to the tune of $330 million dollars paid for by the local transit tax.
