Book excerpt: Suburban Sprawl has crippled Detroit. Dependence to the automobile has accelerated the migration of citizens to the surrounding suburbs. Through this exodus, Detroit has deteriorated into a collection of abandoned buildings and parking lots. This departure has caused residual effects within all aspects of the city. Residential vacancies have increased and for those that remain concerns of safety have amplified. Businesses have lost their customers and had to either close or depart from the city. Breathing life back into a rapidly decaying city requires the attention of the architectural community, as it can help to create interest and uniqueness within a city. In order to breathe new life into Detroit it needs to be more than just a city, it needs to become a destination. The creation of a walkable community will be the vehicle in which Detroit will be redefined as a destination. Creating optimal pedestrian traffic is established by three key components; the five-minute walk, narrow & versatile street, and mixed-use developments. The five-minute walk is a measure of the time it takes to move from the edge of a city to the center of the city. Narrow & versatile streets allow for a network of streets that provide numerous paths to the same destination. They also slow down traffic and encourage walking, as streets are safer and more pleasant. Mixed-use developments, refers to having multiple function occurring within the same building or complex. Utilizing these developments create higher density, and help to remove dependency to the automobile with many functions being within walking distance. Initializing the concepts of a walkable community, a language of walking will be established and will be redefined in areas that have forgotten this vernacular. The Goal of this thesis is to establish an architectural framework that will help redefine Detroit with an emphasis on pedestrian activity. It will explore the creation of spaces that bring identity back to the pedestrian and provide a solution for Detroit as a collection of decrepit buildings and deserted parking lots.

Book excerpt: The stories in Detroit Tales are tales about urban, working- class America. People struggle both to remain in the city and to escape the city. The three central motifs of this collection are the city, the workplace, and the automobile. If these stories have one unifying theme, it is that escape is not the answer. When the pulls of friendship and love and personal responsibility draw us back to our ordinary homes and our ordinary jobs, we must trust those pulls, and we must lead those lives with as much dignity as we can muster.

Download or read book The Perp Walk written by Jim Ray Daniels and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Perp Walk, his latest collection of linked stories, Daniels maps out the emotional capitals and potholes of coming of age in a blue-collar town in the Great Lakes State, though it could be any state where people work hard, play hard, and aren’t paid nearly enough for their efforts. Alternating flash fiction pieces with longer narratives, Daniels captures both the shooting stars and the constellations that build into earned insights and honest reflections. Sometimes we need both the long version of the short version and the short version of the long version, he suggests. Daniels invites his readers to settle on some truth in between the versions. Humor and heartbreak. Coming to terms, coming of age, or just plain aging. U-Haul trucks full of bad behavior and messy goodbyes. In Daniels’s work, the check is always in the mail but somehow never arrives, and honor is more than a certificate—it’s something we strive for, even while doing our various perp walks through life. Compromises are made, as they must be. Sometimes we get what we want for just a second or two, but for these characters, that has to be enough happiness to live on.

Download or read book Whose Detroit? written by Heather Ann Thompson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's urbanites have engaged in many tumultuous struggles for civil and worker rights since the Second World War. Heather Ann Thompson focuses in detail on the struggles of Motor City residents during the 1960s and early 1970s and finds that conflict continued to plague the inner city and its workplaces even after Great Society liberals committed themselves to improving conditions. Using the contested urban center of Detroit as a model, Thompson assesses the role of such upheaval in shaping the future of America's cities. She argues that the glaring persistence of injustice and inequality led directly to explosions of unrest in this period. Thompson finds that unrest as dramatic as that witnessed during Detroit's infamous riot of 1967 by no means doomed the inner city, nor in any way sealed its fate. The politics of liberalism continued to serve as a catalyst for both polarization and radical new possibilities and Detroit remained a contested, and thus politically vibrant, urban center. Thompson's account of the post-World War II fate of Detroit casts new light on contemporary urban issues, including white flight, police brutality, civic and shop floor rebellion, labor decline, and the dramatic reshaping of the American political order. Throughout, the author tells the stories of real events and individuals, including James Johnson, Jr., who, after years of suffering racial discrimination in Detroit's auto industry, went on trial in 1971 for the shooting deaths of two foremen and another worker at a Chrysler plant. Whose Detroit? brings the labor movement into the context of the literature of Sixties radicalism and integrates the history of the 1960s into the broader political history of the postwar period. Urban, labor, political, and African-American history are blended into Thompson's comprehensive portrayal of Detroit's reaction to pressures felt throughout the nation. With deft attention to the historical background and preoccupations of Detroit's residents, Thompson has written a biography of an entire city at a time of crisis.
