I may be incredibly boring and a bit despondent (at times!) But I have a great excuse, I am an aspiring planner.

    Lights out for Detroit, but can it save this city? →

    This is a really interesting article because I think it really shows how difficult it is for cities like Detroit to try and find the solution to a dwindling population and low income. My only questions about this approach is how detroit will attract people to their city where some communities will be in darkness? What if some neighbourhoods become attractive again to a new class of people? How will those people living in Detroit who are hoping to see change and also seeing small signs of change view this policy to darken parts of the city? what effect will this have upon policing and other security and health services who still need to access local people?
