Art Can Transform A Neighborhood
I recently visited the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami. Public art has transformed a decaying garment district of windowless buildings into a must-see part the city. Blocks of cinderblock walls are the canvas for innovative and exciting art. Change like this is complex, but the combination of daring artists and private property owners like Tony Goldman made it happen.

Goldman took much of a city block and created Wynwood Walls — an open-air urban park with paintings on cinderblock walls. Wynwood changed from decaying “Little San Juan” to a major center of investment and activity.
