I recently checked out a book from the library, South Florida 2010: Four Scenarios for the Region’s Future by Gerald Harris. The report, found online in its entirety (I just saved you a trip to the library!), was written in the latter half of the year 2000. It was meant to serve as a discussion for the future of South Florida.
The four scenarios are titled: "Rio in South Florida", "Epicenter of the West", "Falling off the Edge", and "Happy Siesta". Inside these scenarios, not meant to be predictions but "what if" trigger questions, Harris includes: two life-after Castro situations, an NBA Championship just before Mourning retires, a bullet train to Orlando, success in the Everglades Restoration, and the Dolphins moving to Orlando for a better stadium.
Only 39-pages, it’s a quick but very interesting read. Perhaps even more interesting now that we are in the middle of the 10 year period of these scenarios. Any discussion is welcome here.
