USA - A CITY

MIAMI


Miami is a city of the United States located in the southeast of Florida. It is the second largest city in the state with 5,564,635 people. Miami was hit hard by the economic recession that gripped the country in the 1980s.


The office tower Orne on Biscay Boulevard declared bankruptcy, banks seized unfinished condominiums, shopping centers remained only half rented. Yet Miami had its heyday in the years following the First World War. This was the era of the movie stars, major hotels and a prodigious real estate activity.

The city of Miami, as opposed to its suburbs, is not only composed of the city center (3.8 km ²) at the mouth of the river, but also several communities like Cocoonut Street which despite the annexations have retained their individuality.


Miami is one of the wettest cities in the United States. The climate of Miami combines heavy rainfall (1572.7 mm) with a very high sunshine (3154.9 H), it creates lush vegetation, the rain lasts a few minutes but are sometimes violent and rather hot in summer.
