Yesterday's Detroit News had an interesting article on the 9th Annual Detroit Design Workshop, an annual affair where:
Some of the nation's leading city planners, architects and designers envision a downtown Detroit in 2011 with 10,000 new residents, a big box retailer to replace the MGM Grand Detroit temporary casino, a new arena for the Detroit Red Wings on Grand River and more green space ... previous workshops helped propel plans that resulted in the redevelopment of the Detroit riverfront, the privatization of Eastern Market and the creation of pedestrian/bike pathways.
Read Planners lay out ideas for Detroit in the Detroit News and get more information from 5D: The Detroit Design Workshop (including a very interesting video from the 5D workshop). Really, check the video out - it explains their very innovative process and is worth a watch!
Below is a screen capture that demonstrates the dramatic change in the city over the years. The white represents buildings and black is streets and open space.
