RAPAD US MISSION

DETROIT, MICHIGAN

En-route to the mission’s final energy visit in Ohio our remaining delegates took the opportunity to drop in on a fantastic local example of community renewal - Detroit Blight Busters.

Lessons from Detroit

Tackling population decline, urban blight and housing issues: a community movement

Detroit Blight Busters

For the past 35 years this group has been transforming abandoned structures into thriving spaces of opportunity like their program at Farm City Detroit. Thank you to John George and his team for showing us around on a Saturday. Inspirational work and lots of valuable insights for us to takeaway. www.detroitblightbusters.org
