About Detroit

Detroit in the 20th century was an industrial mecca, the "Arsenal of Democracy," a go-to spot for dramatic news stories, and a top exporter of a talented workforce. We all have heard stories of Detroit's struggles in recent decades, all too often reduced to soundbites and headlines lacking substance. Recently, however, a new dynamism is emerging in the city. It has been gaining momentum through the many innovative people, projects, and organizations that are positioning Detroit at the forefront of urban development in the 21st century. The Detroit Revitalization Fellows Program is just one example.
