Detroit has created a long-term framework and city plan to create a more engaged and successful city, attempt to bring Detroit at least a little bit of the glory that existed back in the 50's and 60's. It is a huge document with a new website to go along with it, so I will likely spend a good part of my day exploring it, but I hope it can teach me some lessons about what another shrinking city is doing for community improvement projects (or maybe more importantly, still not doing)
One thing I will definitely have to keep reminding myself though, is that this project was done by many many people over multiple years. It is not someones capstone project, and I will NOT be creating a document like this for Cleveland.
