Cities That Get
It.
What Florida tells the mayors
and city councils turns the conventional wisdom about
economic growth upside down and shakes hard. Talent matters.
Place matters. Not corporations. “Creative” workers, a
diverse core group including scientists, information
technology workers, engineers, artists and writers are the
decisive competitive advantage driving economic growth.

Norfolk
Takes Back Its Heart.
It's
an example how thoroughly Norfolk, a city that for decades
had a well-deserved reputation as a decaying Navy town, has
transformed itself into the vibrant, cosmopolitan heart of a
metropolitan area of 1.7 million people that includes
Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk. And it's
made the leap without help from high tech or high growth by
emphasizing planning -- and gambling on a huge urban mall to
catalyze downtown development.

Getting
Gindrozed.
Local developers call it "getting
Gindrozed."
They know if they have a major project in Norfolk, their plans will have to pass
under the watchful eyes of Ray Gindroz, the consultant from
Urban Design Associates, a Pittsburgh firm that has
guided the city for more than a decade. There may be no
better symbol of Gindroz's pervasive influence in Hampton
Roads than the transformation of his name into a
verb.
