Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades following World War II, professional city planners in Detroit made a concerted effort to halt the city's physical and economic decline. Their successes included an award-winning master plan, a number of laudable redevelopment projects, and exemplary planning leadership in the city and the nation. Yet despite their efforts, Detroit was rapidly transforming into a notorious symbol of urban decay. In Redevelopment and Race: Planning a Finer City in Postwar Detroit, June Manning Thomas takes a look at what went wrong, demonstrating how and why government programs were ineffective and even destructive to community needs. In confronting issues like housing shortages, blight in older areas, and changing economic conditions, Detroit's city planners worked during the urban renewal era without much consideration for low-income and African American residents, and their efforts to stabilize racially mixed neighborhoods faltered as well. Steady declines in industrial prowess and the constant decentralization of white residents counteracted planners' efforts to rebuild the city. Among the issues Thomas discusses in this volume are the harmful impacts of Detroit's highways, the mixed record of urban renewal projects like Lafayette Park, the effects of the 1967 riots on Detroit's ability to plan, the city-building strategies of Coleman Young (the city's first black mayor) and his mayoral successors, and the evolution of Detroit's federally designated Empowerment Zone. Examining the city she knew first as an undergraduate student at Michigan State University and later as a scholar and planner, Thomas ultimately argues for a different approach to traditional planning that places social justice, equity, and community ahead of purely physical and economic objectives. Redevelopment and Race was originally published in 1997 and was given the Paul Davidoff Award from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning in 1999. Students and teachers of urban planning will be grateful for this re-release. A new postscript offers insights into changes since 1997.

Book excerpt: Detroit's Black Bottom was a historically black neighborhood that was demolished and replaced with modern housing projects and the I-375 Freeway as part of Detroit's urban renewal between 1945 and 1965. Urban renewal is a significant part of the legacy of Modern architecture, and its effects are still felt today in the layout of cities and the lived experience of residents. The City of Detroit is developing a proposal to transform the lowered freeway into a boulevard at the same elevation as the rest of the downtown area, but community organizations have argued that this step does not adequately repair the damage historically done to the community. Plans for redevelopment today often take on a large-scale approach, but lack a level of thoughtfulness at a personal, local level. This research aims to first detail the history of the Black Bottom neighborhood of Detroit and its development over time. Then, to document and model the act of erasure in the built environment through the case study of Black Bottom. Finally, it will propose a design solution that focuses on the direct interventions for individuals at a local level and offers opportunities for ownership for the past residents of Black Bottom and their descendants. The goal is to demonstrate the necessity for public redevelopment based on the voices and the needs of communities and locals that will be directly impacted. Many cities have legacies of displacement and urban renewal and will likely be developing plans to unravel some of harm they have caused. I hope to offer an alternative model to the plan proposed by the Department of Transportation that prioritizes local voices and demands.

Download or read book Detroit written by Lewis D. Solomon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As America's most dysfunctional big city, Detroit faces urban decay, population losses, fractured neighborhoods with impoverished households, an uneducated, unskilled workforce, too few jobs, a shrinking tax base, budgetary shortfalls, and inadequate public schools. Looking to the city's future, Lewis D. Solomon focuses on pathways to revitalizing Detroit, while offering a cautiously optimistic viewpoint. Solomon urges an economic development strategy, one anchored in Detroit balancing its municipal and public school district's budgets, improving the academic performance of its public schools, rebuilding its tax base, and looking to the private sector to create jobs. He advocates an overlapping, tripartite political economy, one that builds on the foundation of an appropriately sized public sector and a for-profit private sector, with the latter fueling economic growth. Although he acknowledges that Detroit faces a long road to implementation, Solomon sketches a vision of a revitalized economic sector based on two key assets: vacant land and an unskilled labor force. The book is divided into four distinct parts. The first provides background and context, with a brief overview of the city's numerous challenges. The second examines Detroit's immediate efforts to overcome its fiscal crisis. It proposes ways Detroit can be put on the path to financial stability and sustainability. The third considers how Detroit can implement a new approach to job creation, one focused on the for-profit private sector, not the public sector. In the fourth and final part, Solomon argues that residents should pursue a strategy based on the actions of individuals and community groups rather than looking to large-scale projects.
