What's
New in Our Region
Southeast
Florida 2060
It’s time for Southeast
Florida to move to the next level, to develop a regional mindset that
focuses more on how to maximize the commonalities than accentuate the
differences.
The South Florida Regional Planning Council, the Center for
Environmental and Urban Solutions at FAU, the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council and the Urban Land Institute SE Florida/Caribbean are
working together to design and organize a collaborative process to
achieve a regional framework for integrated and unified investment
strategies for the future.
The shifting nature of the global economy is changing the way
business is done. Regions that can’t recognize and adapt to these changes
will cease to be economically competitive.
It’s time to broaden the context for the region’s economic
competitiveness.

NEW Preserving
Paradise: SoFlo's Call to Action
The
grades are in, and South Florida is headed for a mega-disaster if local
governments, businesses, and organizations don’t start working
together, according to a biennial regional indicators report from
Florida Atlantic University.
The report suggests that South Florida politicians, civic and
business leaders should focus on collaborative projects on
transportation, especially funding TriRail and other mass transit;
creating synergy rather than competition among the region’s 3 airports
and 3 seaports; building on the strengths and improving the weaknesses
of our schools, colleges, and universities as a collective whole; and
restoring the Everglades to the west and the coastline to the east.
