  • Changing Economic Patterns in the Miami Metropolitan Area, 1940-1948
    Changing Economic Patterns in the Miami Metropolitan Area, 1940-1980 By Raymond A. Mohl* The Miami metropolitan area has been a dynamic and changing urban region since World War Two. Beginning as a tourist and retirement haven, Miami developed a more diversified economy in the post-war years. Small-scale and specialized manufacturing spread during and after the 1950s. Air travel acquired a growing importance in the local economy after the war. The population of the Miami Metropolitan area (Miami SMSA) rocketed upward in the post-war era, reaching 1.6 million in 1980 - a demographic change which in turn stimulated the local construction industry for several decades. The arrival of Cuban refugees in the 1960s and 1970s helped to reshape the economy, as well. Hard-working, upwardly mobile Cubans energetically developed new business and industry, not only in Little Havana but throughout the entire metropolitan area. By the end of the 1970s Miami had emerged as an exciting center of international trade and banking. Foreign investment was pouring into the city, as was illegal drug money. Symbolic of these economic changes, new skyscraper construction in the city's central business district began to transform Miami's skyline. The city that began as a tourist playground early in the twentieth century had become by 1980 an international business center with a booming economy. Miami's tourist trade remains a vital component of the local economy. By 1940, the Miami metropolitan area was serving about two million vacationers each year - putting them up in hotels, motels, and apartments, serving them in restaurants and retail establishments, and *Dr.

Mohl Throughout the twentieth century, government agencies played a powerful role in creating and sustaining racially separate and segregated housing in Dade County, Florida. This pattern of housing segregation initially was imposed early through official policies of "racial zoning." During the New Deal era of the 1930s, federal housing policies were implemented at the local level to maintain racially segregated housing and neighborhoods. Such policies included the appraisal system established by the federal Home Owners Loan Corporation, which helped to create the dis- criminatory lending system known as "redlining." In addition, un- der the New Deal's federally sponsored public housing program, local housing authorities established segregated public housing projects.

  • Hurricane Andrew
    Hurricane Andrew: The 20 miles that saved Miami If Andrew were to barrel through South Florida in 2017, taking an identical track and at the same intensity, the insured losses alone would increase to between USD 50bn and USD 60bn, due to a combination of increased development and asset values. Hurricane Andrew: The 20 miles that saved Miami There will never be another hurricane named Andrew. The last hurricane to be named Andrew was so ferocious that the World Meteorological Organization retired the name after the 1992 hurricane season. Andrew left a path of destruction from the Bahamas to the Gulf Coast of the US, but it is truly infamous for its impact on South Florida. One of only three hurricanes to be at Category 5 intensity upon its landfall in the US, Hurricane Andrew upended homes, businesses and lives in the Miami suburbs. (The 1935 Labor Day hurricane, which impacted the Florida Keys, and Hurricane Camille, which hit Mississippi in 1969, are the two other hurricanes to make landfall at Category 5 intensity.) Andrew changed building codes and hurricane-risk management, and was a stark and devastating reminder of Mother Nature’s power for the residents of South Florida. Hit hard 25 years ago Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 rampage caused USD 26.5bn in economic damage (1992 USD), destroying more than 25,000 homes and damaging an additional 100,000. Roughly 60% of Andrew’s economic damage, or USD 15.5bn, was borne by the insurance industry. Non-insured losses from Andrew included uninsured and underinsured residential properties, as well as damage to government property (including the Homestead Air Force Base), agriculture, beaches and marinas.

SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF FORECLOSURE AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS IN MIAMI METROPOLITAN AREA, FLORIDA An Abstract of a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Adejoh Emmanuel Ogbe University of Northern Iowa May, 2015 ABSTRACT In 2013, the State of Florida had 13 of the top 20 metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) with the highest foreclosure rate in the country. Despite the high ranking, extensive research on foreclosure has yet to be carried out within the Miami-Fort Lauderdale- Pompano Beach MSA. This research is a foray into an uncharted territory to understand the relationship between foreclosure and neighborhood characteristics in the Miami metropolitan area (MMA) within Miami-Dade County. The study was conducted in two phases: The first phase was to identify the foreclosure pattern in the MMA from 2010- 2013 by implementing the use of spatial analysis such as nearest neighbor analysis, spatial autocorrelation, and cluster and outlier analysis.

  • Miami, Florida Miami Is a City of Contradictions
    Miami, Florida Miami is a city of contradictions. And so it makes sense that the two most characteristic aspects of Miami’s culture, its newness and its incredible diversity, are both its strongest and its weakest points. On the positive side, youth means energy, and Miami has plenty of it. For a city that was a pioneer swamp settlement just over a century ago and a seasonal tourist town only 40 years ago, the amount of arts activity in Miami is extraordinary. There are major classi- cal institutions in the metropolitan Miami-Dade County, encompassing municipalities from Hialeah to Miami Beach: the Florida Philharmonic, the Florida Grand Opera, the New World Symphony, Miami City Ballet, two contemporary arts museums, the New World School of the Arts and arts departments at other colleges and universities. Add to that a range of galleries, theater and dance companies, individ- ual artists in every medium, as well as a plethora of festivals like Calle Ocho, Trinidadian Carnival, the Miami Bookfair, the Hispanic Theater Festival, the Miami Film Festival, and the Florida Dance Festival. A major new per- forming arts center with a symphony and ballet hall, opera house and smaller theater is also slat- ed to open in 2002. But volume doesn’t always mean depth or quality. All this activity has some shaky under- pinnings. “Smoke and mirrors,” is how executive director Michael Spring of the Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs Council describes the flourishing appearance of Miami’s cultural scene, where compared to other cities, a higher percentage of Miami’s arts money comes from government rather than from private and corporate sources.
