【 摘 要 】

Vacant to Vibrant: Re-Energizing Neighborhood Retail In Detroit is the result of a collaborative effort between the University of Michigan Urban and Regional Planning Program, ProsperUS Detroit, and Southwest Economic Solutions to address neighborhood commercial vacancy throughout the city of Detroit. The city of Detroit has begun to bounce back after decades of decline. The downtown is undergoing substantial redevelopment, but neighborhood commercial vacancy remains a top concern throughout most of the city. As of December 2015 7,300 commercial properties are vacant, a little over 29%, of all business addresses within the city of Detroit, and 5,300 of those addresses have been vacant longer than 36 months. Commercial vacancy has posed a serious threat to neighborhood redevelopment. This report is a call to action aimed at tackling neighborhood commercial vacancy through policy and programmatic change.
