Miami’s Next Chapter: How Can City Hall and Private Business Work Better Together?

As Miami continues to grow, the relationship between government and private business has become increasingly important to the city’s future. Over her eight years as Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava has had a front-row seat to the political, economic, and development forces shaping South Florida.

This one-on-one conversation will explore how Miami has worked with the private sector, where that relationship can improve, and what city and county officials need to better understand about the realities facing developers, businesses, and investors. The discussion will examine the practical role government can play in enabling growth — from housing and infrastructure to permitting, transportation, and economic development — while also asking what private business needs from public leadership to keep Miami competitive.

Rather than focusing solely on policy, the conversation will offer a candid look at the intersection of political power, public priorities, and private investment — and what Miami needs from both sides to successfully navigate its next phase of growth.
