Detroit and nearby cities have emerged as leading laboratories for creative and innovative conversations focused on adaptive reuse and revitalization. Meanwhile, other national cities that have struggled to reinvent their iconic and historic downtown buildings for new uses are taking notice.
Join speakers from Ford's Michigan Central Station, the City of Detroit, Buro Happold and Bedrock for a multidisciplinary panel that examines the early, strategic planning and key technical advances that make urban adaptive reuse projects successful. Case studies include Michigan Central Station as well as Book Tower, one of the nation’s largest adaptive reuse projects that has transformed surrounding properties, too.
A focus on mission, flexibility, and future-proofing are shown to lead to citymaking and gainful results — with more planned for the near-term future.
