Michigan Professor Comments on Downsizing Detroit

Apparently, the prospect of a shrinking city is not so scary to some. While many see the precipitous decline in the Detroit population as something awful, many are seeing something good about it. For example, a Michigan professor envisions a time in the future when Detroit has urban gardens that can supply it food, as well as provide cleaner air and more open space. While this may seem ridiculous to some, it is quite possible, with people leaving decaying neighborhoods and moving into better ones, allowing the newly empty neighborhoods to be transformed, and the stronger neighborhoods to become more populated, and still allow green space.
