Miami's Tech Future (A): Twenty-first Century Changes and Challenges
Abstract
In the decade starting in 2000, a new mayor focused on infrastructure and leadership from a foundation investing in arts and culture helped the Miami region transform and attract younger people to a newly vibrant central city and arts district. In 2011, the Knight Foundation targeted entrepreneurship as its core Miami focus -- to build tech jobs of the future -- drawing on the rapid growth of higher education and a large immigrant population. But should a private philanthropy promote for-profit businesses?
