Detroiters are vocal about things they don’t want in their neighborhoods. Articulating what they do want is much harder.
Future neighborhood plans may want to borrow from the Cody Rouge plan —it's the best example of doing it right.

Last week, our Community Leaders Fellowship Program participants learned about zoning and planning for stormwater. A huge thank you to Damon Rich of @HECTORdesigns for an engaging discussion on ways New Jersey's planning and development laws can be useful in advocacy work!
