Detroit is a fascinating place that hit rock bottom over a decade ago, but is now trying to revitalize itself. Using this video, first, explain what development challenges Detroit has using any two sub-dimensions from the Strategic Management of Place framework. Then, explain what Detroit is doing to address the two challenges you identified, using information from the video or outside sources. Next, give your best assessment of whether or not their proposed solutions will be effective. Finally, propose an additional policy measure Detroit could use to improve one of the two sub-dimensions you selected. This essay should be no longer than 1,000 words and should be submitted using 12-point font, 1 inch margins, and double spacing.
Here’s what you’ll be graded on:
Clearly identifying and defining two sub-dimensions within the SMP framework.
Explaining how each sub-dimension contributed to Detroit’s decline based on the video.
Supporting your explanations with evidence (including performance measures) from external sources.
Evaluating the effectiveness of Detroit’s proposed solutions through the lens of your two sub-dimensions with reasoning from course texts.
Proposing an additional measure Detroit can take to improve one of its two sub-dimensions with reasoning from external sources
Organizing your ideas in a clear and logical manner.
Use of APA formatting, including a works cited page.
