Brian Topp writing in the Globe has a good quick summary of what Miller tried to accomplish during his time in office:
Public transit needed to be planned and put on track. The city needed to grow upwards (into towers and other high density), not outwards (into ever-more-sprawling suburbs). The city's taxes needed to be rationalized and rebalanced. Its economic development strategy needed to be modernized. Broken neighbourhoods needed to be addressed, and the hopeless people living there given hope. The city needed to be, literally, cleaned up. The city's lobbyist/insider culture needed to be, figuratively and literally, cleaned up.
