Downtown Detroit already boasts a
number of great public destinations,
such as Campus Martius, Greektown,
Paradise Valley, the
r
iverWalk, and
others that have the potential
to become great. Working with
r
ock Ventur
es, strategic partners,
and consultants during a one-week
charrette in September 2012, PPS
identified three key public destinations
in the downtown that, if activated,
could have a huge impact on their
surrounding areas: Campus Martius/
Cadillac Square; Capitol Park; and
Grand Circus Park. Through its
Placemaking process, PPS determined
what the key places will be within
each of these public spaces and
developed a program of activities
and uses for each in the short-term
(summer 2013) and the long-term.
