City Systems, Infrastructure and Environment draft strategies will include efficient ways to realign city systems—energy, water, waste, transit, roads—to make them more cost effective and less of a burden on residents and the environment; while continuing to support Detroit’s economic growth and new emerging patterns of life and business.

Draft Strategy Recommendations Coming Soon.

    Missing the point looking short-term with limited resources and a population that doesn’t currently take ownership their own area now.  The greatest possible return on investment is to take advantage of the ‘free’ Detroit-owned land by putting away rights-of-way for the future.  In 50-years, when population growth in the state and region push back into the D, people can say, “Weren’t they smart back then to put a public transportation grid template in place when the land was abundant, open, cheap and easy to retool?”  The ONLY viable plan right now is to prepare a template for the far future and then let developers scramble and speculate from that point. Period.
