Ft. Lauderdale Named in Best Downtowns In US

“The best downtowns instill a sense of pride in their cities,” according to Livability.com. The website recently ranked the top 10 best downtowns. Among the factors analyzed for the list, say the editors, were data on improvement in retail and office vacancy rates, the number of people moving to the area, income growth, unemployment, and the ratio of people who live and work in the downtown.                                        best downtowns

“Having a great downtown is about more than just having a great main street,” says Matt Carmichael, Liveability editor. “A downtown should have a cultural and retail focal point, like a main street, but it has to expand beyond that, providing a solid core for the entire community.”

  1. Fort Worth, Texas
  2. Providence, R.I.
