City in Nature: Strategically Renaturalizing Vacant Land in Detroit
Critical for Detroit’s success in the future is the transformation of vacant land to desirable open space. With large extents of the city burdened by blight and more land becoming vacant every day, this transformation is central to how the city redefines its character in the wake of population decline. While there has been effort to explore the possibility of greening vacant land on a small scale, the unique opportunity in Detroit to renaturalize large swaths of vacant land has not yet been realized. Large scale renaturalization represents both a re-imagining of natural space in an urban context and a respect for ecological history prior to urbanization. Furthermore, it offers social, environmental, public health, and economic benefits that can serve to greatly enhance the quality of life of Detroiters throughout the city. This plan serves as an exploration of how to accomplish the renaturalization of large vacant areas. While recently there has been increasing attention to the importance of creating larger natural spaces through such interventions as reforestation, there is a lack of specific examples for how to accomplish this in Detroit. Developed in collaboration with Detroit’s General Services Department, this plan includes the site selection process, site analyses, recommended renaturalization interventions for each of the three sites, and key considerations for their successful implementation.
City in Nature vacany analysis
ecosystem services analysis
Our site selection process considered a variety of inputs including concentrations of vacancy, ecosystem service needs, green space access, and different social indicators. After evaluating the merits of these potential inputs, we determined that a two step process, based first on vacancy and second on ecosystem services analysis, was most appropriate for the initial identification of target sites within city. We determined that the other factors were more appropriate for evaluating specific sites and influencing site design and would be better used at later phases in the analysis. Therefore, we began identifying concentrations of vacant land with the goal to locate large swaths of contiguous vacant land that would be ideal for a sustainable renaturalization intervention. We used a variety of GIS tools to identify areas where parcels could be assembled to create sites at multiple scales. We identified the following: • 1- 5 acres of contiguous vacant parcels • 5-10 acres 80% or more vacant parcels • >10 acres 80% or more vacant parcels
From the contiguous areas of vacant land we created a method to prioritize sites by ecosystem services. Our ecosystem service analysis was based upon a review of relevant literature and consultation with staff at the General Services Department (GSD). We focused on sites that would benefit from vegetation to attenuate stormwater runoff and reduce air pollution concentrations. We combined relative stormwater capacity by sewershed and air pollution. GSD staff stated that stormwater attenuation was of greater concern. Therefore, in our ecosystem services index, we weighted areas that had greater stormwater needs by 70% relative to sites with higher air pollution concentrations (30%).
City in Nature site context
site asset
Street and Poplar Street, is just north of Corktown in the Core City neighborhood. Like much of the city, the neighborhood experienced disinvestment in the late 20th century, but retained more population compared to other neighborhoods in the city like the Lower Eastside or Brightmoor. As seen in Figure 51, the area has a density of 3,007 people per square mile. Recently, this area has experienced some redevelopment with the construction of numerous single-family homes near the proposed site. It is also close to the redeveloping Corktown neighborhood, future area greenways, and key institutions like the University of Detroit Mercy Dental School, Shalom Ministry International, and United Kingdom and Missionary Baptist Church. The churches are particularly important in this area because they anchor the site and provide points of entry to the natural area. This 6.2-acre site, situated in a residential area north of the Corktown district, brings together both passive and active natural landscapes. Seamlessly blending wooded areas, meadows, and a central node of distinctive gardens, this site offers neighbors an environmentally beneficial landscape with open spaces that facilitate interaction between people and nature. This site invites active engagement by providing pathways that connect people to diverse natural features. In addition, the natural features on this site provide ecosystem services including air pollution buffering and filtration and stormwater mitigation. Using both active and passive strategies, this site is one way to envision renaturalization near denser areas. population density

site design Trails/Paths The site includes trails and a repurposed alleyway that help improve connectivity throughout the whole natural area and give residents the opportunity to walk and bike through the site. Buffalo grass along the trails will serve as a buffer between the meadow and the walking path, creating a comfortable and safe walking atmosphere for visitors. Active Space The smaller portion of the site, along 15th Street, is designed for more active use. This site includes several gardens that will create a variety of interactive experiences between people and nature. Such gardens include a pollinator garden, a butterfly garden, and a cut flower garden. The cut flower garden is designed to be a distinctive neighborhood amenity that allows residents to stroll through and pick the flowers they like. Woodlands Most of the existing trees should remain and, with the exception of the cultivated gardens, the rest of the site will be planted as meadow and prairie. Additionally, trees appropriate for an oak-hickory opening will be added to the site.

What’s the Real Rent? ACS vs. Craigslist
Being an urban planner, I am really curious about how housing expense affects city planning. 30% of people’s income are used on housing. However, in recent years, the housing burden became higher and higher, especially in larger city like San Francisco, New York, or even Boston. Planner’s are really interested in studying housing market, in order to plan affordable housing, or suggest to change land use to lower people’s housing cost. Despite using the traditional census data that shows the medium housing value, there is no data or information that can immediately reflect the current market price. The prediction of median rent is mostly based on the outdated census data or predictor’s subjective viewpoint on the historic trends of housing price. The American Community Survey is an important source that planner use for learning the demographic background, but the more accurate 5-year data only public once in 5 years. After learning how to grab data from the internet, I thought that the rent post on craigslist might be a good media to reflect current housing atmosphere. For this research, I will use Boston as the target area and fetch the price of rent on Craigslist, which is a wide-use media that provides rental information about housing, and then comparing with the historic real estate data download from the open source database – American Community Survey.
What’s the Real Rent? data manipulation
result
The first dataset I use is Craigslist (https://www.craigslist.org), whic is a world-wide classified advertisement website with sections such as jobs, housing, for sale, items wanted, services, and community. For this project I’ll use the rental price of housing in Boston area. I used BeautifulSoup and urllib2 to fetch the current post of apartment rental on craigslist, and then parse it into python and create a csv file as output. Therefore, I can get the latest price for rental houses, which can best reflect the current housing market.
The graph below shows the correlation between the two sets of data. The grey line represents the current rent for houses in Boston from Craigslist and the yellow line represents the historic trends of median rent from ACS. The median rent on Cragslist is $2495, and the median gross rent from ACS is $1104.5. Accrording to The Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2014 – 2015, the rent is about $2000 and above. Therefore, the rent on Craigslist can reflect the current trend more.
The second dataset is to download the open source data from American Community Survey (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/) Data, which is a powerful dataset that os useful to learn the demographic background of a place before making any plans. This is the premier source for detailed information about the American people and workforce. For this project, I’ll use the median gross rent in the census track of Massachusetts. This is the most official, and most confidence housing data provided by the government.
I believe this method of comparing the median rent on Craigslist and the ACS Census Data in can help emphasize the importance of using big data sources to improve current planning process. ACS data is comprehensive and powerful, but to catch up the fast-paced world, it is essential to use online sources to help capture demographic information more accurately.

Lines of Effort reinstating and reinventing public space in the fragmented city
Lines of Efforts entails the different forces of New Orleans that act together to continuously shape the city, the way it is today. New Orleans is by no means, a constant – it is an ever-evolving city in all respects – social, political or cultural. Its historyis conflicted, dynamic and complex; the co-existence of multiple communities and ethnicities, diverse festivals of music and dance, active public life and “wild weekends”, is representative of its ability to continuously adapt to the changing environment. Lines of Efforts works towards celebrating this idea of constant change, struggle, transformation and co-existence of different aspects of the city. The design is centered on the idea of a Jazz Village, which is representative of the current culture. Located in a strategic setting of the largest African-American community, the French Quarters and other distinct ethnic communities, the Village respects all these boundaries and without trying to merge the boundaries together, it creates a common ground for “New Orleanais” to engage in public life. The intent is, to create a space for values and cultures that are inherent to the communities and the city, and also respect the historical heritage and significance of the location, while creating a common space for the otherwise fragmented parts of the city.

The Jazz Village is then a focal line, set within the urban city grid, which cuts and connects across the middle of the city, through the important historic locations and almost leads to Jackson Square, which is currently the most popular spot of New Orleans. The focal line feeds off into smaller Laces, which are the numerous activities taking place alongside and help activate the focal line and connect it to its neighborhood. The strategy is two fold: a) To create a hub around the MJ-Theatre by creating a Museum of History and a Cineplex with housing, retail and commercial office spaces. These functions are class-free and attract users from all segments to come together. This hub is more entertainment oriented, where one is supposed to “go� and enjoy. b) The Jazz colony is the heart of the city, which is just a large, walk-able, common space for the public to use at its will, and therefore, dynamic in nature. The colony is a place for music, dance, street-plays, celebrations, people-watching, public art and expression, etc. The colony, located on the Lafitte Greenway, can be used during Mardi Gras and other cultural and political events also. Its dynamism is in the way it shall be used differently during day (for office and hotels) and night (for informal activities) and different seasons. This space is then more public-oriented where one can just go without having an agenda.

Relaunch Envision the Future of the Riverfront
The east riverfront neighborhood has begun to undergo a great transformation into the future. This area holds value not only in its location, but the potential to be a solid node to many other communities. Our specific loction reaps benefits of close proximity to the downtown central business district, direct riverfront access, and the Dquindre Cut Greenway which connects the riverfront neighborhood to areas as far as the Eastern Market. To market the new office units it would be beneficial to post the vacancies in various local publications. We intend on drawing small start-up business to the area; therefore, it is necessary to strategically place the ads in areas where young entrepreneurs will explore. There will be sixteen brand new offices in the existing structures on the riverfront site where we believe the industrial history will draw a variety of people looking to build their business in Detroit. The location will allow people to live near their work and also enjoy many amenities that it has to offer. The main marketing strategy to draw residents and tenants would be to provide rental incentives for the new construction units as well for the new offices and retail locations.

arborbike Hub Analysis
The Clean Energy Coalition in Ann Arbor, Michigan initiated a new bike share system, ArborBike, in 2014. ArborBike is a public transportation network for bicycle commuters that currently consists of six hub locations throughout Ann Arbor. Each hub contains a small fleet of bicycles that can be used for short-term commutes and can be accessed on a member-wide basis. ArborBike plans to expand their services to eight new hub locations in the near-future to improve connectivity among hubs and increase ridership. This study used ArcGIS and Network Analyst to examine the effectiveness of each existing and p lanned ArborBike hub, and included our proposals for new locations that could potentially serve as effective hubs in the future. Through our analysis, we found that of the existing ArborBike hubs, the service area surrounding the hub at Murfin and Hubbard has the highest perceived level of demand. We also found that the hub on Zina Pitcher is the most well-connected to other existing hubs. The locations that we selected as potential ArborBike hubs included: the Broadway Bridge, Ocker Field, the corner of Fourth and Madison, and the U of M commuter parking lot on the corner of Fuller Rd and Cedar Bend Dr.
arborbike Hub Analysis

OD matrix for hubs
percieved demand index
We made the assumption that the distributions of population and commuters were evenly spread across each block group, this assumption allowed us to analyze the smaller sections of block groups that intersected with the service areas of the various bike share hubs. We also made the assumption that the service areas surrounding each bike share hub covered ¼ of a mile. We based this assumption on the distance we believe people would be willing to walk to a bike share hub.
In order to measure the connectivity of each bike share hub, we measured the average distance between each hub and all of the other hub locations (OD matrix). According to a bike sharing implementation guide created by the Federal Highway Administration, bike share systems should generally be placed approximately ½ of a mile apart from each other. (FHA, 2012).
We created a Perceived Demand Index (PDI) that was used as a metric of the perceived demand for bike share use in Ann Arbor. Using the PDI, we measured the perceived demand for bike share of every hubs’ service area and every census block group in Washtenaw County. Using data from the 2008-2012 American Community Survey, we created the PDI by ranking five different critical factors for demand and weighing the contribution that each factor imposes on the overall PDI as we saw fit.
Through our analysis, we found that of the existing ArborBike hubs, the service area surrounding the hub at Murfin and Hubbard has the highest perceived level of demand.
Among the existing hubs, the hub located at Zina Pitcher is the most well-connected with an average distance of 1.09 miles between Zina Pitcher and all other existing hubs. Even so, the Zina Pitcher hub is much more disconnected than the Federal Highway Administration’s recommendation of a 0.5 mile distance between bike share hubs.
