Interesting Article re: Transforming Post Industrial Detroit

Post by colchar » September 26th, 2009, 12:19 pm

I read this article this morning and found it rather interesting so I thought I'd share it with all of you in case anyone else was interested. I am not sure how I feel about ideas such as these but the article certainly gave me some food for thought (no pun intended).
