Detroiters living in depopulated neighborhoods will be encouraged to relocate to more dense residential areas in the city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from targeting Detroit\u2019s housing needs, the strategic framework also focuses on supporting business growth by providing more relaxed regulations for startup companies, stimulating entrepreneurship and developing shopping centers easily accessible by foot. Other focus areas include creating neighborhood-based schools to anchor communities and developing green infrastructure on parcels located between industrial areas and neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the document does not include any financial plans, Troy-based philanthropic private organization The Kresge Foundation will provide at least $150 million in initial funding for the first five years. Further grants are expected to be attracted by a steering committee comprised of 14 members from the business, non-profit, government and philanthropic sectors of Detroit.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Detroit skyline image courtesy of Wikipedia author Shawn Wilson<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Chart via\u00a0detroitworksproject.com<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Veronica Grecu, Associate Editor In an ambitious effort to bring back Detroit&rsquo;s lost glory and after two years of community surveys that involved around 150,000 Detroiters, Mayor Dave Bing has released a comprehensive document that will serve as a strategic revitalization plan for the financially troubled city.
