Скачать или смотреть The $60B Plan To Extend Miami

Miami Beach looks like a natural paradise, but it’s actually an engineering stunt. A century ago, developers dredged sand from the bay to manufacture land that didn't exist. Now, that same city is facing a $60 billion bill to keep from sinking back into the ocean.

In this video, we explore the "ghost island" hiding in plain sight and the massive, controversial plans to save Miami from its own geography.

What we uncover in this deep dive:

The Isola di Lolando: The 1920s "ghost island" ruins that serve as a warning of what happens when engineering fails.

The Limestone Problem: Why a $6 billion seawall can’t stop water from rising up through the ground.

Climate Gentrification: How the search for "high ground" is displacing historic inland communities.

The 2060 Projection: Why 60% of Miami-Dade could be underwater in just 35 years—and the "exit plans" experts are already discussing.

Is Miami buying another 50 years of life, or are we watching the most expensive slow-motion exit strategy in history?
