Gathering of urban revitalization efforts in Detroit

There is an upcoming conference of national revitalization experts at the Westin Book Cadillac later this week. American Assembly has set up the event and has chosen Detroit for obvious reasons. Some interesting experts will be contributing, including the former mayor of revitalized Turin. For the most part, it appears to be a closed event, but there are a few open sessions, including lunch on Thursday with Mayor Bing to launch the program. If I can find more details about possible registration, I will update this post. Here is the Free Press article where I learned about the event: http://www.freep.com/article/20110411/BUSINESS06/110411039/Experts-meet-Detroit-discuss-urban-revitalization
