In theory, yes. But that is dependent on what is actually driving the construction. In a market like Miami, condo construction is hardly the direct result of some major demand for urban living in Miami specifically... much of it serves as safe deposit boxes in the sky (but that's another topic). And increased density is also dependent on the design of the developments -- most of which in Miami hardly have that as a prominent characteristic.

See below. Basically, Miami's 2000s-on era condo towers are pretty damn generic and boring to me. There a few decent designs to come out of the past decade, but most of them are pretty much the same building over and over again. Mainly low-quality filler. Even the new tallest is going to be a basic box with balconies -- we've seen it before a thousand times -- and it's very telling that a nobody architect is behind it's "design".
