 | | The only way for most older cities, like Tampa, to compete with the suburbs, and with other cities, is by showcasing unique or unusual assets. |
 | | Such old-style city fabric assets are: historic neighborhoods, renovated grand buildings from other eras, and the kinds of new entertainment venues that attract urban tourists to visit the center of the city for three to four days, spend a lot of money and create new tax revenue that takes advantage of assets that are there. |
 | | Bayshore Boulevard, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Harbour Island, downtown, Garrison Seaport, the Channel District, Tampa Heights and Ybor City, and that reviving an urban core means diverse entertainment, lots of visitors and new residents, and mass transit, as well as employment centers, office towers, government buildings and parking garages. |
