Photo Series and Urban Regeneration

Two neat web pages (tip to Democracy in America)

Remains of Detroit - Time Magazine


Both speak to the concept of urban regeneration (which one of my favourite blogs, The Strategist speaks of every now and then). At some point, people will move back to Detroit, buy the abandoned houses, make the areas livable again.

Until that, why not invest in the future of Detroit, say, employ some of the massive number of unemployed - over 15% of the population - and tear down some of the waste. Detroit's future is not in industry, so it's not like people are going to come back and renew the factories.
