Phase 1 Realities Final - For Web - sm2

PROJECT OVERVIEW
CREATING A SHARED VISION

In order to realize Detroits full potential, the community needs a new roadmap to help blaze a path for tomorrow. The Long Term Planning process of the Detroit Works Project will accomplish this goal by creating a Strategic Framework Plan. This Plan will be a roadmap that can guide the actions of a wide variety of constituents on a variety of issues including: economic growth, land use, neighborhoods, public land, zoning, city systems and infrastructure. An expert team of talented local, national and international urban planners, economists and architects will develop the Strategic Framework Plan along with participation from the Detroit community.
THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK PLAN WILL OUTLINE A SERIES OF GOALS TO:

Create a city that is operationally efficient Make the city a more affordable place to live and do business Improve the health and safety of neighborhoods Encourage innovative and productive ways to use land and improve the citys infrastructure Promote an inclusive and diverse city Create a shared vision for the city and its role in the region state, nation and world

There are certain conditions we must take note of in order to improve the quality of life for all those who live, work, worship and play in Detroit. Embedded in ones quality of life, The Detroit Works Long Term Planning Technical Team has identified 14 quality of life elements. Combined, these 14 elements make up the overall quality of life for Detroiters; and one or more of the imperatives will affect each of them.

The challenges experienced from inefficiencies of land use in Detroit today must be improved by establishing strong neighborhoods that are served by sustainable infrastructure systems and enhanced by healthy ecology landscapes and public open spaces. These communities will be strengthened not only with population growth, but also through job creation that will impact the quality of life of all Detroit residents.

After completing seven policy audits in 2010, supplemented by months of research and community input, the Detroit Works Long Term Planning and Technical Team identified key trends about the city. From these trends, the Team and Steering Committee outlined 12 Imperative Action Items we must implement to improve the quality of life for all who live, work, worship, and play in Detroit. Over the past three months, these 12 Imperatives had been reviewed during an extensive amount of roundtables. The resulting public dialogue continued to evolve these imperatives to their current state today.

Given the enormity of challenges including market and vacancy, not all land will return to conventional productive use. The City cannot maintain existing levels of population and housing density. Innovative strategies for land use change and management will help restore a healthy ecological balance and market demand.
IMPERATIVE 03
We must use our open space to improve the health of all Detroits residents.
UNHEALTHY RESIDENTS ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE

Detroiters have 50% higher heart risks and higher rates of other dangerous health conditions Asthma rates for Detroit children are 3X the national average
PARK SPACE
Detroit has less quality green space for healthful recreation activities
Detroiters have higher rates of heart disease, respiratory illness, diabetes and cancer than the national average. Some of these can be prevented or improved by exercise and diet.
MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
In general, levels of pollutant exposure decreased in Detroit between 2002 and 2007, but certain areas of Detroit especially the Southwest - have signicantly higher health risks associated with air pollution.

More than half of the Detroit properties offered by the Wayne County Treasurer Office went unsold at the auctions minimum bid of $500.
DETROIT FREE PRESS
Detroit has an overabundance of single family houses relative to current market demand. When a house becomes vacant, the likelihood that it will be reoccupied is extremely low, resulting in a rapid increase in the number of vacant, open, and dangerous properties.
There are over 37 square miles of parks, open space, and vacant land in Detroit, and it has more than 100,000 vacant parcels.

Detroits declining population
OPERATIONAL IMPACT LOSING POPULATION

Declining population means less revenue collected by the City Population loss and reduced economic activity have resulted in a underutilized infrastructure system
Detroits aging infrastructure requires signicant renewal and investment
AGING SYSTEMS
A declining population means less revenue collected by the City, resulting in decreased services, reduced infrastructure investment, and higher costs for residents and businesses who choose to stay in the City.
Loss in tax from properties and economic activity has had a larger impact over time - loss in tax funding impacts the general fund and the ability to cross subsidize roads, transportation, and aviation.

Detroits infrastructure systems were built to service a dense city of 2 million. Oversized for current rates of use, a lack of funding for infrastructure reinvestment and underutilization is leading toward scal unsustainability.
