Structure

Many people want to make Detroit a better place. However, there is so much wrong with the city that part of the challenge is figuring out where to start. Just about any volunteer work or social justice project or activism could help improve our city, but critical thinking and smart planning will help us get more results for the same effort.

The people behind this blog want to help Detroit make a better place. We want people to live in the city. We want businesses to locate here. We want clean, safe streets. We want well run schools. We want a green, sustainable environment. We want nice parks, top-notch restaurants, and other amenities. We want adequate public services. These things will not happen overnight. They will not happen without effort, time, and money. That is okay, because most importantly, we want to make a difference.

Before we start any projects in a haphazard fashion, we will increase our knowledge and understanding of Detroit's problems. We will also try and identify what revitalization projects are already underway or being planned. We will create posts related to Detroit's problems and current solutions in the initial phase of this blog. Later, we will define how we will help and plan from there.

So, welcome to the blog. We hope you find some interesting material here and learn a bit about the city. We also hope that you too will become energized to help fix Detroit. If you would like to contribute, please let us know - we, and Detroit, could use all the help we can get!
