Abstract

The effects of Miami’s startup scene have not reached many “left-behind” lower-income Black communities, which are disproportionately affected by problems such as segregation and racial discrimination, lack of transportation access, crime, education quality, government incompetence, and climate change. Leaders such as mayors, real estate developers, civic entrepreneurs, and community activists are offering solutions to the systemic problems faced by Miami’s lower-income Black communities. Can more innovative thinking and the entrepreneurial spirit help move such areas into the tech economy/green jobs future?
