Awesome question. Probably should be it's own topic.

  1. I'd appoint someone with the task of finding litigious ways of killing innovative and influential cultural establishments. This could include backpacker hostels, music/arts venues, cafes which once existed downtown, etc. I'd run a focus group to determine what was the most popular and appealing, then crush them.

  2. I'd wage a war on nature. Cut trees wherever possible, dish out fines for people allowing natural regeneration on their front lawns, and lead a relentless expansion campaign over any and all greenspace within reach.

  3. I'd turn downtown into a police state.

  4. I would open a casino downtown, and use keystone properties as chips and playing pieces.

  5. I'd endeavour to fail, publicly and in as embarrassing a means possible to deal with issues of toxic contamination. Whether it's brownfield properties, stack emissions or water issues, these matters are key players in Hamilton's Bad Image(tm), and we can't afford to lose them.

Any of this sound familiar?
