University City II settlement

University City II settlement

Wayne State University | Urban renewal--Michigan--Detroit

In 1971, the local Model Cities Citizen Governing Board and the City reached a settlement over the future of the University City II project. The settlement recognized the legal authority of the board, ensured their participation in Wayne State’s project, and offered significant protections to the residents whose homes redevelopment threatened. A major victory for people living in neighborhoods around the school, the settlement severely set back University City II and the remaining three phases of the project never came to pass.
