If somehow Miami can tame sea level issues it definitely is one of America's next great megacities.

There's quite a bit of stuff that's pretty easy to Google. But it's all mostly band aids.
This is Miami Beach

Bu the following is the ultimate solution... semi serious. If they could do it in 1858 I believe they can do it today. Or they just move the entrances of many buildings to the second floor.

Sea levels are rising 'fast', but at the same time a LOT can be accomplished in 70-80 years. I'm betting on that they manage a solution. The risk of a direct hurricane hit downtown though I think is a bigger issue than rising sea levels (though of course they are related). As is the rising water table. I'm not sure how they deal with those.
