The Resilient305 initiative seeks to create a Greater Miami & the Beaches where we can all live, work and prosper abundantly. The resilience strategy we set forth is a collective of the work and feedback we have received from the community about what impacts you most on a day-to-day basis. How we move forward will determine the ways in which our communities across Miami-Dade County move, adapt, flourish, grow and evolve to create a region that will serve as the gold standard for resilience worldwide.
Resilience, for us, means providing the opportunity for every person and every community to bounce back after large-scale flooding events, hurricanes, or economic hardships, and to not only survive, but thrive in the face of sea level rise, expensive housing, challenging traffic, and uncertain labor markets.
What Is Greater Miami and The Beaches?
Greater Miami & the Beaches (GM&B) is a unique partnership of Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami, and the City of Miami Beach. We came together to lead the development of our community’s resilience under the 100 Resilient Cities Network – Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation. Because the GM&B community is often referred to by our area code, “the 305” we thought it fitting that this document, GM&B’s collaborative resilience building strategy, be titled Resilient305.
