HOW DO WE KEEP AMERICA GREAT?

Rick Baker, former mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, provides a compellingand challenginganswer: by making American cities great. And great cities are built first of all through strong leadership.

During his two terms in office, Rick Baker worked toward a clear, uncompromising goal: to make St. Petersburg the best city in America. He led a downtown renaissance, rebuilt the most economically depressed area of the city, attracted businesses, worked to reduce violent crime, and made public schools a city priorityall with measurable results. The Seamless City offers practical advice, based on his nine years of experience in City Hall, to show how every mayor and city council can make their city dramatically better.

In The Seamless City you’ll step behind the scenes of city government to learn:

How maintaining basic amenities, like running water, requires constant vigilanceand sometimes tough decisions on the part of city leadership
Why a vibrant downtown is essential to attract businesses and create jobs
Why the most effective leadership is servant leadership
How to find and implement the most effective solutions to a city’s most challenging problems
Why city government needs to regard the city as a seamless whole, with no section under-served or overlooked

PRAISE FOR THE SEAMLESS CITY

The Seamless City tells Mayor Baker’s story, but it also provides a road map. It is an example of how preparation, planning, persistence, and a passion for service can move America’s cities closer to the goal of becoming seamless—places where citizens in all neighborhoods enjoy safe streets, reliable infrastructure, a high quality of life, and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.”
—Jeb Bush

Rick Baker transformed a city with a history of divisive challenges into a thriving community by cracking down on crime, implementing public-private partnerships, and improving the quality of life. No other conservative Republican that I’m aware of can say they won 90 percent of the vote in the core, predominantly African-American Democratic precincts in his re-election. St. Petersburg’s revival wasn’t a miracle—it was a mission that Rick Baker undertook with all his considerable energy, innovation, and determination.
—John Avlon, author and senior political columnist for The Daily Beast

Mayor Rick Baker applied a businessman’s principles to identify the problems of the city, to analyze and select the best solutions, and then focus on leading the community to achieving those goals. As both a business manager and leader, he led a renaissance in St. Petersburg, Florida. Politicians, please read this book!”
—Tom James, Executive Chairman of Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Rick Baker does a superb job drawing on his experiences as mayor of St. Petersburg and the turnaround he led in that city’s fortunes. All of us, whether in the private sector or government service, can learn something about leadership from the lessons in this book.”
—Mitt Romney

Gives a guide on how to reform a city

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 febbraio 2014

Good read for anyone running for local office or in local office. Written by a very popular two term mayor of a large FL city who had no prior political experience. He had been a tax lawyer. Though a Republican, he was a moderate who cared about making the city more livable for everyone.

Very insightful. Truly a blue print for any city written by a powerhouse of a mayor. St. Petersburg was blessed to have him.

Lived in St. Pete during his administration. The transformation of the city was magnificent. Not only were there tangible changes, but intangible ones as well. People were PROUD of what the city was becoming and it showed! I bought the book because I wanted to know how he "did it". I live in another county now and would love to see his vision implemented here. Powerful book by a super effective mayor.
