In this week's edition of Facing South Florida:
#cbsnewsmiami's Elliott Rodriguez interviews Oliver Gilbert, the chairman of the #miami Dade County #commission about his vision for the county mid-century, roughly 30 years from now, and what it will take to get us there.
The two discuss core topics like the health of #biscaynebay #climate concerns, and #housing and #transportation issues.
Gilbert also reveals a plan called Urban Air Mobility, and how that would impact all of us as congestion and population density become increasingly worrisome here.
Plus, What makes a city, a global city?
CBS News Miami's Eliott Rodriguez interviews the author of a new book called Emerging Global Cities, which showcases three cities: #miami, #dubai, and #singapore.
The two discuss the factors that must come together to create what has become known as a #global #city and why most cities are considered ‘global hopeful's.
They also examine how Miami emerged to be recognized and what it takes to hold on to the highly regarded status, and what it means to those of us who call South Florida home.
