Detroit Wants Walkable Urbanity
Clare Pfeiffer Ramsey interviews real estate guru Chris Leinberger on developing walkable urbanity in Detroit.
"A sign advertises lofts coming soon in 'downtown' Port Austin, a tiny farm and tourist town that sits on the tip of Michigan's thumb. That type of development doesn't surprise Christopher B. Leinberger, an urban land strategist, developer, teacher and researcher, who says walkable urbanity is catching on."
" 'It's in the air. It's in the water,' says Leinberger. 'It's the generation that was raised on Seinfeld, Friends and Sex in the City.' "
"A visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution, and the head of the University of Michigan's new graduate real estate program, Leinberger is one of many experts who will discuss walkability at the upcoming University of Michigan/Urban Land Institute real estate forum held this year at Cobo Center in Detroit."
