Miami Transformed Rebuilding America One Neighborhood, One City at a Time Manny Diaz. Foreword by Michael Bloomberg "Miami Transformed is the story of a doer, a big thinker with a passion for improving the lives of people. Manny Diaz is undaunted by the challenges that inevitably arise in government and business but always squarely focused on the agenda he has carefully set to reach his goals. That's the definition of a good leader, and that, based on my experience, is Manny Diaz."--Richard M. Daley, former Mayor of Chicago "Manny Diaz became the mayor of Miami during a critical time, when professional leadership was needed. He took the city to new heights and also represented Miami nationally and internationally as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Manny is a visionary leader who has never lost his footing or his roots. He epitomizes the immigrant success story and the fruition of the American Dream."--Eduardo J. Padrón, President of Miami Dade College "Under Mayor Manny Diaz's leadership and direction, Miami has undergone a great and sustaining transformation into a cultural hotspot and a hub for the 'creative class,' with a thriving business climate that is open, multicultural, and inclusive. Miami Transformed offers politicians and policymakers a blueprint for transforming their cities block-by-block into destinations for innovative businesses and entrepreneurs, building livable and safe communities for all."--Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited "Manny Diaz was a great mayor, and he will go down in history as one of our country's most innovative urban leaders because he put progress before partisanship--and because he never stopped asking, 'Why not?' His legacy will be defined not only by a soaring skyline but also by cutting-edge policies that made Miami a national leader on urban issues."--From the Foreword, by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Part memoir, part political primer, Miami Transformed offers a straightforward look at Diaz's brand of holistic, pragmatic urban leadership that combines public investment in education and infrastructure with private sector partnerships.
