That won't happen in America. USA had its moment of light; now it's time for other countries to be on the spot.

I see Miami-Dade County growing by maybe 15% in the next 30 years, with some of it from high-rise infill, some of it from immigration, and about half from expansion of the urban development boundary. I could possibly see light suburban development in south Dade expanding as far out as 197th Ave, from 88th street down to maybe 152nd street, all supported by an expansion of the Dolphin Expressway, but hopefully that never happens. On the other hand, I could see the whole Midtown corridor really increasing in density, or the whole Biscayne Blvd corridor for that matter. Little Havana and the Coral Way area would definitely increase in density as well. 3 million by 2040.

I see Broward County stagnating in growth and possibly losing some population, simply because the county wasn't planned for high density development, there aren't any strong economic drivers (in the foreseeable future), an aging population, and almost all developable land was used up by the late 1990s. I think there might be some urban-style infill in areas east of US1 in Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, Deerfield and Pompano (probably not Dania or built-up Hallandale), while any gains there will be made up by slight losses due to natural population aging in communities like Coral Springs and Pembroke Pines, that I think will be somewhat tired looking, but still acceptable places (kind of like some areas west of 95 in Hollywood today). 1.7 million in 2040.

Palm Beach County will probably grow like Broward County did in the 1990s, since it has so much room. I say as much as 40% growth is possible, almost all from suburban development. The difference being from Broward or Dade that Palm Beach County has MUCH more land area to expand, will probably maintain lower prices, and has some economic drivers (biotech), in fact I could easily see it out sizing Broward. 1.8 million in 2040.

I say 6.5 million tops since the metro doesn't have any available land except for Palm Beach county. The gains in population in Dade & Broward will be due to urban infill and continuing highrise development throughout the metro.

It's hard to say what will happen in the next 30 years. Florida could succeed from the United States, growth regulation laws may be completely changed which may encourage a lot of growth or discourage it entirely, the list goes on and on. Who knows.

Right now, Miami Dade is mostly growing because of immigration (particularly illegal ones) and due to natural increase (more births than deaths). However, there is a net outflow of people with more people moving out than in, especially among the middle class. This may continue or it may not in the next 30 years.

Cant see Miami getting below 6 million, certainly not lower than 5.5 million where it is now

I bet they said the same thing about Detroit when it was prosperous. A worldwide financial crisis plus a hurricane and Miami's population drops by 1/2..

Miami's already overpopulated as it is. It'd be a blessing if Miami's population fell by half. Maybe it'd actually be a more desirable place to live.

Miami is overpopulated? By mosquitoes and frogs maybe.
