An Evolving Model of Public Space Development

At the foot of a long-standing symbol of controversy and decay, an empty park transforms into an icon of community engagement, activity, and place making. Roosevelt Park is the perfect opportunity for community-initiated development of a public space, because the park is:

  • A catalyst for future residential and business development
  • A hub for social action
  • Flanked by a national, architectural icon, the Detroit Central Station
  • In 2010, the Roosevelt Park Conservancy formed to coordinate volunteer and fundraising for the park.
