Today is the first day of spring, whether the Michigan weather acknowledges it or not, and that means planting season is here. Craig talks trees and green infrastructure with Greening of Detroit President Rebecca Salminen Witt and Detroit Future City Design Principal Dan Kinkead.

Craig sits down with Karla Henderson, Group Executive of Planning and Facilities for the Detroit Works Project, and Lt. Hill Harris of the Detroit Fire Department to discuss the progress of their blight busting efforts and their plans for the future.

After more than a year of public meetings and discussions, a "Framework" has been drafted for Detroit Future City, also known as the Detroit Works Project. Wayne State University professor of law Peter Hammer; professor and Chair of the WSU Department of Urban Studies and Planning Robin Boyle; and WSU professor of law John Mogk talk with Craig about the plan.

Craig discusses the newly released Detroit Future City Framework plan with Dan Kinkead (Hamilton Anderson Associates and Detroit Works Long-Term Planning Technical Team) and Laura Trudeau (Senior Program Director for The Kresge Foundation and member of the Detroit Works Project Long Term Planning Steering Committee). Two years of Detroit Works Long-Term Planning meetings and sessions culminate in the 347-page strategic framework plan, which Detroit Works released yesterday (Wednesday, January 8 2013).

Craig speaks with Dan Pitera and James Ribbron from the Detroit Works Project for an update on the next phase of the long-term planning process.

Guest Host Rochelle Riley speaks with President and CEO of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy Faye Nelson and Founder of Urban Planning and Design for the American City and Co-Chair of the Detroit Works Project Technical Team Toni Griffin, about the future of Detroit.
