I was pleasantly surprised by the maps in the report: “Detroit: A New City” from the Mayor’s Committee on Community Renewal and prepared by the City of Detroit, Department Report and Information Committee. The city’s Community Renewal Program (CRP) was the vehicle for studying and planning Detroit’s future amidst the federal urban renewal regime. For better or worse the CRP produced numerous reports and maps that chronicle the condition of the city at the time. In particular this map of code enforcement, mostly focused in the “The Middle City” stood out to me as in present day Detroit these areas have seen a fair degree of reinvestment.
