Commissioner Ralph Rosado is a Miami native, a seasoned city planner, and a dedicated public servant with over 25 years of experience in local government and community development.

Before his election to the City Commission, he served as City Manager, nonprofit leader, and educator, and played a pivotal role in shaping affordable housing and infrastructure policy throughout South Florida.

Commissioner Rosado now proudly represents District 4, which includes Flagami, West Flagler, Little Havana, Coral Gate, Shenandoah, and Silver Bluff.

Ralph Rosado is a dedicated public servant and proud Miami native, now serving as the City of Miami Commissioner for District 4, which includes the neighborhoods of Flagami, West Flagler, Little Havana, Coral Gate, Shenandoah, and Silver Bluff. A graduate of Belen Jesuit Preparatory School and Florida International University, he was both educated and shaped by this community. Today, he is raising his three children in the heart of the district he now represents.

 

Commissioner Rosado brings to office over 25 years of public service spanning city management, planning, and policy. Before his election on June 3, 2025, he served as City Manager of North Bay Village, where he led award-winning planning efforts, including the NBV100 master plan and a $60 million stormwater bond referendum. These initiatives catalyzed over $3 billion in approved investment, increased property values, and helped deliver one of the largest crime reductions in the municipality’s history.

 

Rosado holds a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master in Public Affairs and Urban Planning from Princeton University, and a B.A. from FIU. He has held senior roles in municipal government, directed nonprofit coalitions, and taught at the University of Miami and FIU. He has also co-authored major policy frameworks such as the Miami-Dade Affordable Housing Blueprint.

 

Prior to taking office, Rosado was appointed by Commissioner Manolo Reyes to serve on the City of Miami’s Miami Forever Bond Board, where he oversaw progress on $400 million in citywide investments spanning flood prevention, public safety, roadways, parks, and housing—giving him an intimate understanding of the city’s most pressing infrastructure challenges and opportunities.

 

Even before holding public office, Commissioner Rosado was widely known for his civic leadership. As a private citizen, he spearheaded grassroots efforts to reopen long-closed parks, fought against overdevelopment in and around Coral Gate, and inspired neighbors to take action to preserve and enhance their quality of life. His activism consistently reflected a deep love for this city and a belief that everyday residents deserve a voice in how it grows and changes.

 

Commissioner Rosado’s CASA initiative—standing for Connectivity, Accessibility, Safety, and Affordability—guides his work in office. It is a promise to deliver real, tangible improvements that keep families rooted, streets safe, homes attainable, and neighborhoods well-connected and welcoming to all.
Above all, Commissioner Rosado is committed to working hand-in-hand with residents to shape a more livable, equitable, and resilient future for the City of Miami.
