Downtown Miami Renaissance
Downtown—a city within a city—is the new place of choice for CEOs, international entrepreneurs, star chefs and artists. People who can live anywhere are calling Downtown home. The British consul general for Florida put it succinctly: “I am proud to say that British business feature prominently among the European firms with interests in Miami. The City is America’s second-largest banking center, so it’s no surprise that big UK banks like HSBC, Lloyds and Barclays have significant operations s here.” Downtown Miami represents the unmistakable sign that the economic and commercial center of gravity is shifting away from the suburbs and back to the urban core. “What’s happening in Miami illustrates a key corollary of the creative-class theory,’ explained urban theorist Richard Florida during a conference held in Miami Dade College. “The creative class and the knowledge-based economy account now for about a third of the of the U.S. workforce.” ![]() And cities with the right environment enjoy a huge competitive edge, as members of this creative class seek out cool places to live, “meaning walkable neighborhoods, distinctive architecture, a diverse population, vibrant street and cultural life, and amenities like cafes, bars, parks and bike lanes. As the creatives rub shoulders, they generate new ideas and enterprises that propel economic growth and attract even more talented, creative people. And the sunshine helps.” |
