A First Look at Urban Resilience and Innovation in South Florida
Held in the heart of one of the country’s most dynamic and climate-vulnerable regions, the ULI Miami Symposium delivered compelling content around urban growth, sea level rise, mobility infrastructure, and equity. For many first-time attendees, including our team at MEP Green Design & Build, the event provided a sharp look into the priorities shaping South Florida’s built environment.
What stood out wasn’t just the depth of knowledge shared, but the collective urgency felt in every room. The role of engineering in designing buildings that can withstand both environmental and economic stressors is more vital than ever. For firms working behind the scenes—like MEP engineers—the message was clear: innovation in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems must keep pace with the bold architectural and planning visions discussed.
The symposium also served as an important platform for cross-industry collaboration, offering a chance to build relationships with new partners and deepen our understanding of the unique challenges Miami faces. As MEPG continues to grow its presence in the region, events like this help ground our design strategies in the lived realities of the communities we serve.
