KRESGE.ORG Dear Colleagues,
This is a bold new time: We have little precedent for the increasingly blurred edges of public, private, and philanthropic enterprise, nor experience with relinquishing the boundaries that have traditionally provided definition and identity to our sectors.
Over the next two days, we will examine these complex issues and share ideas along the way. While several presenters and panelists will draw on experiences in Detroit, we will also discuss analogous experiences in other urban centers. Our conversations will encourage cross-city learning opportunities and articulate emerging principles to help us all lead American cities in the 21st century.
Jim Ferris Director, The Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy University of Southern California
Rip Rapson CEO & President The Kresge Foundation

#DrawingOnDetroit 19 Drawing on Detroit Inquiry
The USC Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy, in partnership with the Kresge Foundation, has undertaken a yearlong inquiry into the Detroit experience, seeking insights it may hold for the future of American cities.
There are numerous strategies underway in Detroit that other cities can learn from and adapt. But what is most significant about Detroit is not strategy-specific: it is the overall recalibration of roles and responsibilities across the public, private, philanthropic, and nonprofit sectors. This fundamental transformation carries implications that extend well beyond cities in crisis. In an era of persistent municipal deficits and limited resources, it may contain seeds of a new agenda for American cities.
