As communities plan for heat waves, flooding, and unreliable energy infrastructure that threaten resident wellbeing, many are turning to vast inventories of vacant land as possible solutions. Hear about Detroit Future City’s series of vacant land reuse initiatives, from individual project site-scale to neighborhood wide planning efforts. The session will highlight the McDougall Hunt Climate Resiliency Initiative, an ongoing engagement and planning effort in a highly vacant area of Detroit. Attendees will learn how to engage in vacant land reuse in a historically disinvested, marginalized community and incorporate both climate resilience and affordable, attainable housing needs.
