Last year, we commissioned an independent research firm to survey 200 residents across the Arts & Entertainment district (A&E District), Brickell and Central Business District. What they found: people know and love Downtown Miami, but they're just not always aware of the agency behind it.

That tells us we're fulfilling our mission to grow, strengthen and promote the economic development and quality of life of Downtown Miami’s vibrant neighborhoods. It also tells us we haven't been taking enough credit for the work the Miami DDA has been doing. That's on us to change.

The A&E District, Brickell and Central Business District have undergone a dramatic transformation, but work remains to cement our place as one of the world's most dynamic urban cores. And we intend to do it.

Find the full survey results at the link in our bio.
