Will Detroit understand the opportunity at hand or ruin it all allover again.
Hypothetically, Duggan's goal of adding population in five years comes true and the city is in need of housing near downtown do you think the city will get it right. I love Detroit but lets be honest it has a rather lame streetscape. Wide boulevards and small buildings is a little depressing. What I would want to see is not only an average height of 4 to 8 stories on the main roads[[ near greater downtown not like, 8 mile and Gratiot) and smaller buildings more integrated into the actual neighborhoods instead if just on the main roads. What do you think eill attract developers to Detroit; tax breaks, an opportunity to build whole neighborhoods? Do you think the city should employ a small collection of urban planners to advise what's best just to get things started?
