S
ix months after Time magazine
famously described Detroit as
“a city on life support,” the ele-
ments of an unprecedented ur-
ban rescue operation are tak-
ing shape.
As Mayor Dave Bing and
Detroit Public Schools emer-
gency financial manager Robert Bobb
attack immediate challenges to solven-
cy and root out vestiges of corruption,
some of the nation’s largest founda-
tions, private investors and even a wary
federal government are pursuing more
than a dozen initiatives that would, if
brought to fruition, transform both De-
troit’s landscape and its economy by
2020.
Some of the changes could be eye-
popping, altering familiar vistas that
have stagnated for years: an expanded
Detroit Medical Center campus sur-
rounded by new residential and retail
development, a second bridge linking
Detroit and Windsor, a new profession-
al sports arena, fresh bands of verdant
parkland and farms to support the ex-
ploding market for locally grown food,
and a rail line up Woodward Avenue
moving people comfortably from the
river to the New Center and beyond.
Other dramatic changes would be
less visible but even more critical to De-
troit’s economic resurrection: the ex-
pansion and rationalization of coordi-
nated mass transit and bus service, the
relocation of residents from abandoned
neighborhoods marked for demolition
to more densely populated ones, and —
above all — the transformation of the
Detroit schools.
And Detroit’s revitalization would
facilitate improvements well beyond its
borders — train service to Ann Arbor
or Lansing, and the mega-development
of an aerotropolis to make Metro Air-
port a hub of international freight and
new technology.
A group of local foundations, com-
munity organizations and local leaders
that calls itself Excellent Schools De-
troit has pledged $200 million to close
failing schools and open up to 70 new
ones by 2020. If its vision is realized, a
diverse mix of charter, private and tra-
ditional public schools would supplant
the status quo, leaving a smaller DPS
overseen by Detroit’s mayor and his ap-
pointed superintendent.
Detroiters won’t have to wait 10
years to learn how it all comes out.
Those betting their capital and reputa-
tions on Detroit’s future agree that
what happens in the next 12 months will
make or break the transformation.
Many pieces must fall into place, and
quickly:
Voters will have to sanction a trans-
fer of political authority from an elected
school board to an elected mayor.
The city and its surrounding coun-
ties will have to agree how to apportion
the cost of tax breaks for everyone from
DMC’s new owners to tenants of Wayne
County’s aerotropolis, and then per-
suade state legislators to sanction the
new fiscal arrangements.
And the Obama administration,
which has signaled its interest in De-
troit’s plight by appointing an urban
policy czar, will have to go from being a
sympathetic spectator to an active
partner.
As scholars participating in New De-
troit’s recent colloquium reappraising
the city’s history noted, Washington’s
fingerprints are all over Detroit’s cur-
rent predicament. In the second half of
the 20th Century, federal initiatives to
complete an interstate highway system
and subsidize suburban home construc-
tion contributed mightily to the city’s
destabilization. Vigorous federal sup-
port for the private and philanthropic
revitalization efforts under way here
now is both appropriate and indispen-
sible.
Detroit was a mainstay of the nation-
al economy for most of the 20th Centu-
ry. Can the Obama administration pos-
sibly be content to have it be a drag for
the rest of the 21st?
What everyone from the White
House to the foundations poised to in-
vest unprecedented personal and finan-
cial resources in Detroit’s rebirth has a
right to expect in return is that Detroit-
ers seeking their help speak as one, or at
least in harmony. If rival factions con-
tinue to spar in court over the location
and ownership of a new bridge to Wind-
sor, if leaders in Wayne and Oakland
can’t seal the deal on their common in-
terest in an aerotropolis and high-speed
rail line, if voters renounce a school gov-
ernance scheme that assures account-
ability in favor of one that preserves pa-
tronage — Detroit’s golden moment
will be lost.
Investors will seek a more politically
coherent environment in which to do
business. Educational reformers will
decamp to other, less fractious urban
laboratories, and philanthropic groups
will redeploy their limited resources in
communities that have a clearer vision
of their own potential.
But today, a formidable assembly of
innovators is massedhere— here at the
epicenter of America’s urban crisis,
drawn by the sheer enormity of the
challenge and impatient to begin build-
ing the Detroit of 2020.
Let it not be said, a decade hence,
that we Detroiters squandered this mo-
ment.

DETROIT SCHOOLS
THE PLAN:A smaller but dramatically better sys-
tem under control of the mayor, with a Standards
and Accountability Commission reviewing every
school; 54 buildings closed by 2012, 22 new or reno-
vated opening; 70 new schools by
2020, 35 of them charters; a 90%
graduation rate by 2020 and 9 in
10 graduates going on to ad-
vanced education.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Educa-
tion reform is critical to the
city’s ability to attract and retain
families. Basically, the community
has to rally around its children. Parents, teachers
and other school employees must be engaged to
become part of the overhaul. Voter and legislative
approval is needed to abolish the school board in
favor of mayoral control. Beyond foundation mon-
ey, Detroit voters will be asked to pass another
$500-million bond issue.
FOUNDATION INVESTMENTS
THE PLAN:The philanthropic community is in-
vesting tens of millions of dollars in
projects for the betterment of Detroit,
including schools, neighborhood
revitalization, cultural institutions,
the riverfront and greenways.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:The philan-
thropic cooperation must be main-
tained, old issues of distrust between
city and suburbs must be erased for
the good of both, and some projects have
to show results fairly soon to be catalysts for fur-
ther investment. The nonprofits and nongovern-
mental organizations willing to put time and money
behind their commitments to a better Detroit also
have to engage city residents in their plans at every
step.
REGIONAL TRANSIT SYSTEM,
RAPID LINES:
THE PLAN:Light rail on Woodward, from Jefferson
to 13 Mile. Private interests are already lined up for
a total of $120 million to build the first leg — 3.4
miles from Jefferson to the New Center. Express
buses on Gratiot, Michigan and to the airport. Com-
muter rail from Ann Arbor to Detroit,
possibly from Detroit to Pontiac and
even Port Huron and Mt. Clemens.
Better basic bus service, with ex-
tended routes and increased fre-
quency.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:The Legis-
lature must approve a regional tran-
sit authority as the governing agency
for SMART, DDOT and any rapid-line
operations. Washington won’t help unless the re-
gion speaks with one voice on its transit needs. An
RTA then will have to win a local financial mecha-
nism to operate the system — most likely some
kind of regional sales tax that would also require an
amendment to the state Constitution.
LARGE-SCALE DEMOLITION
OF VACANT STRUCTURES
THE PLAN: The city has 78,000 vacant houses, near-
ly one in five. With population likely to be down
around 700,000 by 2020, they aren’t
needed. Mayor Dave Bing hopes
to have 10,000 demolished by
the end of 2013.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN: Devel-
op a realistic land-use plan that
could help secure money from
Washington to do even more.
Otherwise, target demolition ef-
forts to shore up eroding middle-
class neighborhoods, such as Palmer Woods, North
Rosedale Park, the University District and Boston
Edison.
GREENING OF THE CITY,
URBAN FARMS
THE PLAN: The city, private foundations and com-
munity activists are all studying how
to expand food production within
Detroit. Urban farming is one of
many ideas for filling up and
greening Detroit’s desolate
expanses of vacant land.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:City
Council needs to create a new
zoning class for urban farms.
Other changes — such as taxing
agricultural land at a lower rate than
other property — also would boost the idea.
NEW SPORTS ARENA
THE PLAN:The Ilitch family, owners of
the Red Wings and Tigers, would
like to replace 30-year-old Joe
Louis Arena with a new home for
the Wings and maybe even at-
tract the Detroit Pistons.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Find a
site — suggestions include behind
the Ilitch-owned Fox Theatre and
across Grand River from the Ilitch-
owned MotorCity Casino. Then the Ilitches and vari-
ous levels of government must figure out how to pay
for it.
COBO CENTER
THE PLAN:A $280-million retrofit and
expansion under a five-member re-
gional authority created last year to
run the convention center.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Cobo has to
be a better facility by the 2011 Auto
Show and state of the art by 2015, when
it will host an influential convention of asso-
ciation executives who have a lot to say about where
other conventions are held.
DETROIT MEDICAL CENTER
THE PLAN:DMC hopes to finalize by June a $1.5-billion
deal with Vanguard, a for-profit system
that plans to invest $850 million into
upgrading and expanding DMC
facilities. The investment is expect-
ed to create 5,000 jobs.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:DMC must
secure a state renaissance zone
designation for 12 years free of local
and state taxes. The city and Wayne
County also have to sign off, and the
state attorney general has to approve the sale, based
on whether DMC will maintain its charitable service
mission.
SECOND BRIDGE
THE PLAN:Detroit-Windsor could, by 2020, be linked
by either one or both of two new bridges over the
Detroit River — a privately owned span
next to the Ambassador Bridge and a
publicly owned one 2 miles west. Or
ongoing lawsuits and bickering
could stymie both and reduce De-
troit to a second-rate border cross-
ing.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:For the
privately owned Ambassador Bridge
to build its second span, the company
needs permits from the U.S. Coast Guard and envi-
ronmental clearance from Canada. Neither will come
easily. For the Detroit River International Crossing
project to become reality, the consortium of four gov-
ernments involved needs to resolve several lawsuits
filed by the Ambassador owners to stop the project,
persuade the Legislature to authorize money for fur-
ther work, and get the Canadian government to ac-
quire land and do preconstruction work on its side of
the river.
AEROTROPOLIS
THE PLAN: An $11-billion investment to
turn the area around Metro Airport
into an “airport city” hub of com-
merce and logistics, potentially
employing 64,000 people and in-
cluding a rail line from the airport
into Detroit.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Zoning and
planning are actually complete at the
local level in a rare example of intergov-
ernmental cooperation. Wayne and Oakland counties
also have reached accord on using tax-free renais-
sance zones to help attract businesses to the aerotro-
polis district. The Legislature has to complete action.
RIVERWALK, BIKE TRAILS,
GREEN SPACE
THE PLAN:Completing a pedestrian walk-
way along the Detroit River from the
Ambassador Bridge to the MacArthur
Bridge at Belle Isle; connecting that
to many more miles of bike and pe-
destrian-friendly routes throughout
the city.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:The Detroit
RiverFront Conservancy will have the
eastern section of the RiverWalk completed

Greenway projects elsewhere are proceeding in sec-

complete in full.

Mayor Bing hopes to move Detroit Police
Department headquarters staff out of the
antiquated 1300 Beaubien building that dates to
1923 and into a new or renovated structure. At
this writing, the best guess among real estate
professionals is that Bing will choose the former
MGM Grand casino site near Third and Michigan
as the new headquarters. That structure has been
awaiting a new use since MGM Grand opened its
new casino a block to the north in 2007.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing highlighted his plan to demolish 3,000 dangerous residential structures by year’s end, and 10,000 total
by the end of his 4-year term. Bing said demolition is only part of a larger plan to strengthen city neighborhoods and improve
the use of Detroit’s 140 square miles.

In a sweeping 5-year, $1-billion plan, 41 school buildings and 1 support building are slated for closure in June, with another 13 to be closed by 2012. DPS officials
based this redesign in part on Detroit’s changing neighborhoods, comparing areas of growth with areas of abandonment. Here is a look at how those buildings fit onto
a map of Detroit’s most vacant areas.

DETROIT SCHOOLS
THE PLAN:A smaller but dramatically better sys-
tem under control of the mayor, with a Standards
and Accountability Commission reviewing every
school; 54 buildings closed by 2012, 22 new or reno-
vated opening; 70 new schools by
2020, 35 of them charters; a 90%
graduation rate by 2020 and 9 in
10 graduates going on to ad-
vanced education.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Educa-
tion reform is critical to the
city’s ability to attract and retain
families. Basically, the community
has to rally around its children. Parents, teachers
and other school employees must be engaged to
become part of the overhaul. Voter and legislative
approval is needed to abolish the school board in
favor of mayoral control. Beyond foundation mon-
ey, Detroit voters will be asked to pass another
$500-million bond issue.
FOUNDATION INVESTMENTS
THE PLAN:The philanthropic community is in-
vesting tens of millions of dollars in
projects for the betterment of Detroit,
including schools, neighborhood
revitalization, cultural institutions,
the riverfront and greenways.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:The philan-
thropic cooperation must be main-
tained, old issues of distrust between
city and suburbs must be erased for
the good of both, and some projects have
to show results fairly soon to be catalysts for fur-
ther investment. The nonprofits and nongovern-
mental organizations willing to put time and money
behind their commitments to a better Detroit also
have to engage city residents in their plans at every
step.
REGIONAL TRANSIT SYSTEM,
RAPID LINES:
THE PLAN:Light rail on Woodward, from Jefferson
to 13 Mile. Private interests are already lined up for
a total of $120 million to build the first leg — 3.4
miles from Jefferson to the New Center. Express
buses on Gratiot, Michigan and to the airport. Com-
muter rail from Ann Arbor to Detroit,
possibly from Detroit to Pontiac and
even Port Huron and Mt. Clemens.
Better basic bus service, with ex-
tended routes and increased fre-
quency.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:The Legis-
lature must approve a regional tran-
sit authority as the governing agency
for SMART, DDOT and any rapid-line
operations. Washington won’t help unless the re-
gion speaks with one voice on its transit needs. An
RTA then will have to win a local financial mecha-
nism to operate the system — most likely some
kind of regional sales tax that would also require an
amendment to the state Constitution.
LARGE-SCALE DEMOLITION
OF VACANT STRUCTURES
THE PLAN: The city has 78,000 vacant houses, near-
ly one in five. With population likely to be down
around 700,000 by 2020, they aren’t
needed. Mayor Dave Bing hopes
to have 10,000 demolished by
the end of 2013.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN: Devel-
op a realistic land-use plan that
could help secure money from
Washington to do even more.
Otherwise, target demolition ef-
forts to shore up eroding middle-
class neighborhoods, such as Palmer Woods, North
Rosedale Park, the University District and Boston
Edison.
GREENING OF THE CITY,
URBAN FARMS
THE PLAN: The city, private foundations and com-
munity activists are all studying how
to expand food production within
Detroit. Urban farming is one of
many ideas for filling up and
greening Detroit’s desolate
expanses of vacant land.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:City
Council needs to create a new
zoning class for urban farms.
Other changes — such as taxing
agricultural land at a lower rate than
other property — also would boost the idea.
NEW SPORTS ARENA
THE PLAN:The Ilitch family, owners of
the Red Wings and Tigers, would
like to replace 30-year-old Joe
Louis Arena with a new home for
the Wings and maybe even at-
tract the Detroit Pistons.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Find a
site — suggestions include behind
the Ilitch-owned Fox Theatre and
across Grand River from the Ilitch-
owned MotorCity Casino. Then the Ilitches and vari-
ous levels of government must figure out how to pay
for it.
COBO CENTER
THE PLAN:A $280-million retrofit and
expansion under a five-member re-
gional authority created last year to
run the convention center.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Cobo has to
be a better facility by the 2011 Auto
Show and state of the art by 2015, when
it will host an influential convention of asso-
ciation executives who have a lot to say about where
other conventions are held.
DETROIT MEDICAL CENTER
THE PLAN:DMC hopes to finalize by June a $1.5-billion
deal with Vanguard, a for-profit system
that plans to invest $850 million into
upgrading and expanding DMC
facilities. The investment is expect-
ed to create 5,000 jobs.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:DMC must
secure a state renaissance zone
designation for 12 years free of local
and state taxes. The city and Wayne
County also have to sign off, and the
state attorney general has to approve the sale, based
on whether DMC will maintain its charitable service
mission.
SECOND BRIDGE
THE PLAN:Detroit-Windsor could, by 2020, be linked
by either one or both of two new bridges over the
Detroit River — a privately owned span
next to the Ambassador Bridge and a
publicly owned one 2 miles west. Or
ongoing lawsuits and bickering
could stymie both and reduce De-
troit to a second-rate border cross-
ing.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:For the
privately owned Ambassador Bridge
to build its second span, the company
needs permits from the U.S. Coast Guard and envi-
ronmental clearance from Canada. Neither will come
easily. For the Detroit River International Crossing
project to become reality, the consortium of four gov-
ernments involved needs to resolve several lawsuits
filed by the Ambassador owners to stop the project,
persuade the Legislature to authorize money for fur-
ther work, and get the Canadian government to ac-
quire land and do preconstruction work on its side of
the river.
AEROTROPOLIS
THE PLAN: An $11-billion investment to
turn the area around Metro Airport
into an “airport city” hub of com-
merce and logistics, potentially
employing 64,000 people and in-
cluding a rail line from the airport
into Detroit.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:Zoning and
planning are actually complete at the
local level in a rare example of intergov-
ernmental cooperation. Wayne and Oakland counties
also have reached accord on using tax-free renais-
sance zones to help attract businesses to the aerotro-
polis district. The Legislature has to complete action.
RIVERWALK, BIKE TRAILS,
GREEN SPACE
THE PLAN:Completing a pedestrian walk-
way along the Detroit River from the
Ambassador Bridge to the MacArthur
Bridge at Belle Isle; connecting that
to many more miles of bike and pe-
destrian-friendly routes throughout
the city.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN:The Detroit
RiverFront Conservancy will have the
eastern section of the RiverWalk completed
in 2012 if contamination issues at the former Uniroyal
property are addressed. The west riverfront plan is
on a five-year schedule; it depends on fund-raising
and addressing a few remaining ownership issues.
Greenway projects elsewhere are proceeding in sec-
tions — groundbreaking is set for April 15 on the Mid-
town loop — and would require roughly $50 million to
complete in full.
STATE FAIRGROUNDS
THE PLAN:Convert the property
closed down by the state in 2009
into a year-round urban park.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN: The Huron-
Clinton Metroparks board is consid-
ering the idea, which could cost from
$15 million to $50 million. The state,
which had hopes of selling the property to a
developer, would have to agree to lease the site for $1
a year.

professionals is that Bing will choose the former
MGM Grand casino site near Third and Michigan
as the new headquarters. That structure has been
awaiting a new use since MGM Grand opened its
new casino a block to the north in 2007.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing highlighted his plan to demolish 3,000 dangerous residential structures by year’s end, and 10,000 total
by the end of his 4-year term. Bing said demolition is only part of a larger plan to strengthen city neighborhoods and improve
the use of Detroit’s 140 square miles.

In a sweeping 5-year, $1-billion plan, 41 school buildings and 1 support building are slated for closure in June, with another 13 to be closed by 2012. DPS officials
based this redesign in part on Detroit’s changing neighborhoods, comparing areas of growth with areas of abandonment. Here is a look at how those buildings fit onto
a map of Detroit’s most vacant areas.
