Detroit is a complicated city that is too often summarized by a single headline or photo of an abandoned
building. But, as you will soon see for yourselves, Detroit is so much more than a few words or pictures can
convey! In this engaging, interactive presentation, Detroit expert, Jeanette Pierce, will take you beyond the
headlines. You’ll hear the story of how Detroit got to where it is today; what innovators are doing now to
find solutions to the challenges the city faces; and how in the future, Detroit could become a model for
other cities.
