Detroit's Post-Industrial Ideas and Problems

The video below is an audio slideshow condensing a 3-day visit with some of the leaders in Detroit in sustainability, urban agriculture, education, business, and art (from WARM Training Center, Earthworks Urban Farm, Catherine Ferguson Academy, Russell Street Deli, and Yes Farm)*. Today's lecture by Malo Hutson brought me back to earlier this year, when I was thinking seriously about moving to Detroit and starting a collaborative urban farm & small business incubator. This slideshow is the result of that trip -- a trip that confronted me with a lot of the serious realities of "starting something" in Detroit.

*I also met someone who works for the Garden Resource Network, which is part of the Greening of Detroit -- which does amazing work
