Equitable Development Series
After great success in 2017, D4 is again presenting its Equitable Development Series. This year we are partnering with Model D to present a series of public events and feature stories designed to further explore the issues and ideas of "equitable development" in Detroit.
Through this effort, we want to capture diverse perspectives on how Detroit can grow in a way that allows people of all races, classes, and abilities to participate and benefit from development.
