WHAT IS THE DETROIT WORKS PROJECT?
- initiative begun by Mayor Dave Bing in 2010 to create a blueprint that redefines the physical, social, and economic landscape of our city. The goal is the same, but now there are two separate tracks for the project—Short Term Actions, which is led by city government; and Long Term Planning, led by a Steering Committee

SUMMARYWHY WAS IT SEPARATED INTO TWO TRACKS?- because it was a direct result of the feedback received from nearly 10,000 Detroiters who attended meetings, summits and forums between September 2010 and May 2011. Initially the project was all about the LTP for Detroit’s future, but the Bing recognized a need to start using some of the data from a neighborhood analysis to help neighborhoods now.
WHAT DOES “LONG TERM PLANNING” MEAN?- a process that blends community input from Detroiters with the expertise of technical consultants who are researching and analyzing the physical, social and economic landscape of our city to achieve a new roadmap for Detroit’s future.
WHEN WILL THE LONG TERM PLANNING BE COMPLETED?- the final plan is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2012
WHAT WILL THE ROADMAP OF DETROIT’S FUTURE LOOK LIKE WHEN THE PROCESS ENDS?- it will be a comprehensive and action-oriented document that will outline near-term and long range decision making options city government and its partners can make.- it will offer a physical vision of what Detroit can look like, policies recommendations and implementation strategies. It will also outline the actions that will be necessary, and the stakeholders who will have to implement them in order for the roadmap to our future to be realized.

COLLATERAL TRANSLATION
Working in the city Detroit is full of challenges and opportunities. The many different racial communities in Detroit are very strong in presence. The challenge, is how to engage those who are not fluent in English. With the collateral we hand out to the community during one of our events or our many roaming tables located all around the city of Detroit. The opportunity in this, is to engage many different views on the feedback we are trying to collect in the hand outs. Making sure that all areas and people of Detroit have a chance to speak up about their issues and concerns for the future of Detroit.
Having a very strong Hispanic and Arabic population allowed for this half-page flyer to be translated into Spanish and Arabic to be handed out all around the communities. These communities were very impressed by us looking into enough detail to print out different versions of this flyer, which gained great respect with the people of Detroit.
The Detroit Works Project Toolkits are designed to bring awareness to different aspects of urban planning from environmental health to transit and community planning. These documents serve as a resource to the community and continue to grow awareness around these key issues and topics.

Urban PlanningChapter 1
Urban planning i s a process that helps
a c i ty make decis ions for i t s future.
Sometimes referred to s imply as
“planning,” urban planning touches
many aspects of our l i ves . For example,
i t helps a c i ty answer quest ions l ike:
• Whereshouldhomesandbusinessesbebuilt?
• Whatshouldbuildingslooklike?
• Whenshouldroadsandsidewalksbefixed?
• Howshouldjobsbecreated?
From smal l towns to big c i t ies , most
governments go through some sort of
urban planning process . Sometimes
i t i s smal l process involv ing only
government off ic ia l s ; sometimes i t
i s a large process involv ing a c i ty ’ s
ent ire populat ion.
RESEARCHEvery good decis ion i s based on
accurate information. That i s why
most planning processes s tart wi th
some sort of research. Urban planning
considers where a c i ty has been, where
i t i s now and where i t expects to go in
the future.
There i s a large amount of over lap
between dif ferent types of planning.
Bet ter resul t s of ten come from a
planning process that addresses
land use, economic development,
transportat ion and the environment.
Of course, a plan i s only as good as
the act ions that fol low i t . Success ful
c i ty plans require act ion, not only
from local government, but a l so
from i t s people, organizat ions, and
businesses.

Urban Planning Chapter 2
Land use planning is the process of deciding what activity can occur on a particular property and how that activity impacts its surroundings.
Land is one of a city’s most important resources.
Everything that happens in a city happens on a
piece of land or property. Cities can guide and
coordinate how land is used in order to create
a healthy and productive environment for
residents. Issues like public health, safety and
economic growth are significantly affected by
the layout of a city.
Land use planning helps answer questions
like:
• Whatactivitiesshouldoccurinthecity?• Wherewillpeoplelive,work,andhavefun?• Howdoesspatiallayoutaffectacity’s
efficiency?
Land use plays an important role in deciding
what we want our city to look like in the
future, but it is also guided by historic trends
and present realities.
Land use also affects delivery of city services.
Services are in greater demand where there is
a higher density of people or buildings. Lower
density areas require all the same services, but
there are fewer people to pay for them, making
them more costly to provide. An efficient
services system should anticipate and respond
to changes in density and demand.
A city’s transportation network determines how
people commute from their home to their
work, post-office, or grocery store. A good
transportation network helps to connect families
with schools, businesses with customers, and
factories with distribution routes.
After considering these issues, leaders and
residents can make informed and effective
decisions about how land is used. Good land
use planning opens up opportunities for a more
efficient and more prosperous city.

Planning Awareness Chapter 3
The “environment” refers to the physical
or social surroundings in which people live
and operate. In large-scale public terms, the
physical environment falls into two categories:
the ‘natural’ and the ‘built’ environment.
The Natural Environment is made up of the
living and non-living things that exist around
us, including plants, forests, soils, rocks,
clouds, grasses, lakes, streams, air, animals
and mountains.
The Bui l t Environment is composed of the
man-made elements that exist around us,
including roads, sewers, houses, railroad
tracks, signs, playgrounds, high-rises,
factories, street lights and sidewalks.
In some cases, the distinction between the two
categories is not so clear. For instance, the
wetlands at Milliken State Park appear to be a
natural feature, but in fact were only recently
constructed (on the site of a former concrete
production facility).
Milliken State Park on the Detroit Riverfront
The world’s population is settling increasingly
in urban centers, where public health takes on
greater significance. Our urban environments
are prone to air, soil, and water pollution.
It is therefore important that governments,
industrial businesses and city residents work
together to monitor and regulate environmental
contamination and to assure everyone the right
to live in a healthy physical environment.
With a deeper understanding of the link between
environmental quality and human health, we
can make better informed decisions about land
use, community planning and neighborhood
development, ultimately leading to a healthier
and more viable city.

What is
Image: DCDC
For example, urban planners might ask
quest ions l ike:
• Where are people moving to?
• Which roads get the heaviest
• How many school-aged children live in the city?
• What kind of job opportunities exist?
In addit ion to data, urban planners
consider res ident preferences and an
area’ s physcia l character in order make
the best decis ions poss ible.
WE ALL PLAN You might not rea l ize i t , but in a sense,
we’re a l l p lanners. Most of us do i t every
day. Take for example, a household
budget. When we budget for our famil ies ,
we try to decide what i s the bes t use of
our resources - whether to spend money
eat ing out, to spend t ime f ix ing the
ki tchen s ink, or to save up for a new car.
Urban p lann ing i s l ike a budget that a fami ly makes for i t se l f , on ly on a much b igger sca le .
Planning i s a col lect ive process between
c i ty leaders and res idents to envis ion a
bet ter future. Such decis ions are of ten
hard — we must decide which needs are
most important to best prepare for the
future and then plan careful ly how to use
our t ime, money, and other resources.
RESOURCESMoney i s usual ly the f irs t — and sometimes
only — thing that comes to mind when we
consider resources. But i t ’ s not the only
resource avai lable to a c i ty . A c i ty can
a l so ut i l i ze resources such as:
• Skills and culture of its residents.
• Land and waterways within the city.
• Connections to neighboring cities and places.
Considering a l l avai lable resources
a l lows us to make bet ter decis ions.
L ike a fami ly ’s budget , urban p lann ing bu i lds on the resources we have , not the resources we w ish we had .
INVESTMENTS After examining the various resources
ava i lable, a c i ty must a l so look at the
best ways to spend those resources.
Plann ing Is The Br idge Between Resoures And Oppor tun i t ies .
There are many investments a c i ty can
make and every opportunity comes wi th
i t s own benefi t s and cost s .
Planning involves di f f icul t trade-offs .
As a family chooses between invest ing
in food, housing, educat ion, and
entertainment, a c i ty must choose between
invest ing in things l ike transportat ion,
parks, jobs, and safety. A c i ty can rarely
spend as much resources as i t would l ike
on these investment opportunit ies . A c i ty
therefore has to decide which resources
can be matched to potentia l inves tments
- in both the near future and long-term.
TYPES OF PLANNINGA large-scale planning process that
involves an entire c i ty might include
many dif ferent k inds of planning such as:
• LAND USE PLANNING - planning that focuses on
where businesses, homes and parks should be located.
• ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - planning that is
primarily concerned with the job skills and trying to
attract certain types of businesses to a city.
• TRANSPORTATION PLANNING - planning that
addresses how people get around the city and region.
• ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING - planning that
considers how to conserve, protect and utilyze our
natural resources.
TYPES OF LAND USE“Use” refers to the type of activity that occurs in a particular location.
RESIDENTIAL: single-family homes, apartments,
condos and assisted living centers. Many
different housing options exist, from a one-
story house to an apartment tower. Each
different type of housing gives a neighborhood a
unique appearance and feel.
COMMERCIAL: retail stores, offices, and
restaurants. Commercial uses offer services,
provide entertainment and create jobs.
INSTITUTIONAL: museums, hospitals and
schools. Institutional uses attract visitors,
create jobs and provide cultural opportunities.
INDUSTRIAL: manufacturing facilities,
warehouses, and storage. Industrial
uses also generate jobs and contribute to a
city’s economic base.
OPEN SPACE: parks, plazas, and greenways.
Open space uses provide opportunity for
recreation and environmental enhancement.
INFRASTRUCTURE: roads, sewers and utility
lines. Infrastructure is the backbone of a city;
it brings all other land uses together.
We all decide how space should be organized.
Our homes are organized for particular activities
like sleeping, eating, cooking, and entertaining.
In a house, related activities are located close
together. For example, a dining room is usually
placed next to the kitchen.
This same idea can be applied at a city wide scale.
For example, schools are usually located within
a residential neighborhood, and retail is usually
located along major streets.
ZONINGZoning is a set of city laws that govern where and how land use happens.
Zoning helps us decide:
• USE: what kind of activity takes place• LOCATION: where the activity takes place• DENSITY: how much activity takes place• DURATION: how long the activity is allowed Different uses permitted by the zoning process
include commercial, residential, industrial,
institutional, infrastructure, and open space.
Coordinating these uses is necessary to ensure
they are accessible to everyone in the community.
Land use planning separates incompatible uses,
such as factories and homes, and connects related
uses, like businesses and government offices.
Zoning determines the most appropriate location
for different activities so they are coordinated
and efficient. The city’s planning department
manages a comprehensive map with a land use
assigned for every property in the city.
Zoning also governs where certain land uses or
activities should be clustered together. This
concentration of activity is referred to as density.
fo rebmun eht dnatsrednu su spleh ytisneD
people living or working in a given area and
the subsequent amount of stores or schools this
population can support.
Like a house, a city locates related activities near each other.
Zoning also regulates duration. Duration
refers to the length of time a certain activity is
allowed. Residential and commercial uses tend
to be assigned on a more permanent and long
term basis. Other uses are less permanent, like
a farmer’s market or a parking lot. These land
uses can be assigned for a shorter period of
time, like a month or even a day.
IMPORTANCE OF LAND USELand use choices affect:
• Economic development• City service delivery• Transportation networks
Land use choices are important for economic development because they can help attract
investment and create jobs. Businesses often
thrive when they are placed close together in
dense areas. A city should also consider the
economic opportunities in relation to its vacant
land and buildings. For example, Small lots can
be combined to make space for a large building,
or they can provide space for temporary markets
or urban gardens. Each of these uses contribute
to the local economy.

Environmental Qual i ty is the condition of the
natural or built environment. Environmental
quality is often measured by the the levels of
contamination found in the air, soil, and water in
a particular area. The quality of the environment
we live in is crucial to the quality of our own
personal health.
PUBLIC HEALTHPublic health is an approach to health care focused on preventing disease and promoting health through organized efforts at the scale of a city or region.
Since the founding of our country, the average
U.S. citizen’s life span has increased by 30 years.
According to researchers, less than five years of
that increase can be attributed to advancements
in hospitals, doctors or prescription drugs. In
fact, a full 25 years of that life span increase
stems from environmentally based publ ic heal th
interventions.
Some major public health interventions include:
• Sanitary sewage systems• Regular trash collection • Chlorination of drinking water
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHThere are a number of factors that determine
a person’s health beyond genetics, individual
behavior and access to health care. According to the
U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention,
the physical environment and socioeconomic
conditions are responsible for at least 50% of a
person’s health.
That’s why Environmental Heal th, the branch of
public health that addresses the health impact of
the man-made and natural environment, is so
important.
HEALTH IN THE CITYLet’s take a look at Environmental Health in Detroit through the lens of air quality.
Air quality plays a major role in human health.
Air pollution causes asthma, cancer, and other
serious health problems. The asthma rate for
children in Detroit is three times the national
average and the rate of preventable asthma-related
deaths is 5.4 times higher in Detroit than in the
rest of the state. (Source: City of Detroit)
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, industrial operations emit nearly 100
million tons of pollutants into the air every year.
Large facilities such as petroleum refineries
and chemical plants are some of the biggest
contributors to this air pollution.
So, what does government have to do with air pollution and environmental health?
The State of Michigan requires any facility that
emits pollution into the air to apply for an
operating permit. This permitting process allows
state and local agencies to monitor polluting
activities. The City of Detroit also plays a role in
determining the location of industrial facilities
within the city and can also approve public
subsidies to help build or support these facilities.
While the permitting system is designed to track
and control our air quality, advocates call for
greater consideration of the health impacts of
facilities being concentrated too heavily in a
given area. For instance, a recent study found that
contamination levels in Southwest Detroit are the
highest in the entire state. (Source: University of
Michigan)
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICEEnvironmental Justice is the fair distribution of environmental burdens and benefits.
This requires the meaningful involvement of all
people in decisions that impact their personal
health and quality of life.
The Environmental Justice movement grew out
of the Civil Rights movement when the term
“environmental racism” was first used to describe
a pattern of locating toxic waste landfills in
communities of color. Recent studies by the United
Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice
found that polluting industries often choose to
locate facilities where there is least opposition.
Unfortunately, this trend means that people of
lesser means are often the ones most prone to air
pollution and its resultant health impacts.
In an age of global climate change, the goal of
environmental justice is to create awareness and
equity around environmental health issues at a
local scale, especially within the communities
most affected by environmental decisions.

The Roaming Table allowed us to make a connection with the community by having a portable table that could be dissassembled and taken to events and locations around Detroit getting feedback and raising awareness about the project.
ALL INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS COLLECTED, PRODUCED AND USED FOR THE DETROIT WORKS PROJECT LONG TERM PLANNING DEPARTMENT WAS PRODUCED BY THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT TEAM.
