WHEN I ARRIVED 25 YEARS AGO, MUCH OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WAS A GHOST TOWN AFTER 6 P.M.
I am proud to have served under the leadership of Miami City Commissioner Joe Sanchez when was the chair of the Miami Downtown Development Authority.
We shifted the focus from the penthouse
boardroom to clean and safe issues on the streets.
Tens of thousands of people endorsed
our accomplishments with their pocketbooks – investing, buying, renting,
working and playing in a now diverse and vibrant urban core with a blend of
historic buildings and new mixed use towers.
In this photo, yours truly, the elder
statesman (at least by age), meets young shapers of Miami's built environment.
Fabulous time during CNU Florida
Leaders/Inspire Placemaking tour of downtown Miami.
Great to chat about the intrinsic
value of Universal Design.
