Introduction |
Fiorello Henry La Guardia was an American politician and lawyer. He is noted for his service as the Republican Mayor of New York City for three terms. A dynamic and enterprising man, nicknamed as âthe Little Flowerâ, he remained as one of the most remarkable mayors in the history of United States. Though he was an influential and authoritative leader, his policies on several reforms were designed considering sentiments of diverse population of his constituency. He supported Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt and received grants for New York City. He revived the city by unifying the transit system, directing construction of economic public housing, parks, playgrounds, re-structuring police force and constructing airports among others. He won over the corrupt Democratic machine prevailing at the time of world war and depression. He was instrumental in re-establishing employment on the basis of merit instead of patronization of jobs. His administration appointed skilled groups not associated with the political system. His endeavour in giving New York a modern infrastructure boosting the expectation bar for an improved urban livelihood and corruption free machinery secured his position as one of the toughest and successful mayors in the United States. |
