DFC has been working since its inception to demonstrate how this land has the potential to be transformed into an open space asset, thus establishing the city of Detroit as a leader in innovative open space land uses. We are calling this movement a “Green Culture Shift”.
Co-founded by DFC’s Director of Land Use and Sustainability Victoria Olivier, Brick + Beam Detroit is a support and education network that helps Detroiters conquer home rehabilitation.
CoLab Radio covers the 2010 DFC Strategic Framework planning process, which engaged and incorporated over 100,000 opinions of Detroiters, as a model for "democratic design".
