Abstract This dissertation considers the City of Detroit as a case study for analyzing the complex role that artists and art institutions are playing in the potential re-growth and revitalization of the city. I specifically look at artists and arts organizations who are working against the popular narrative of Detroit as “ruin city.” Their efforts create counter narratives that emphasize stories of survival and showcase vibrant communities. -

Strong* Art museums are curators of ideas, preservers of culture, and educators on the evolving aesthetics and morals of society. As such, they play an important role in contemporary society and should be accessible to a wide and diverse audience. One important debate in how museums best serve the public interest involves the museum practice of deaccessioning. Historically, policies governing the proceeds museums receive when they deaccession (or remove) work from their collection have strictly limited the use of these funds to the purchase of new art. This policy is based on the idea that museums hold art for the public trust and should therefore keep their collection separate from other museum assets. These ideas are relatively uncontroversial when dealing with financially healthy museums. However, the past decade has seen many museums struggling to keep the doors open and audiences engaged. -

Debt, Governmentality, and the Neoliberal City Forster-Smith WPSA
Debt, Governmentality, and the Neoliberal City Christopher Forster-Smith, Johns Hopkins University Paper to be presented at the Western Political Science Association 2015 Annual Meeting, April 2-4, 2015, Caesars Palace Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada “We view Detroit’s default and subsequent bankruptcy filing as idiosyncratic . we do not anticipate a contagion effect.” – Standard & Poor’s1 Recent financial and political crises, such as the 2008 financial crisis, the European sovereign debt crisis, and the emergency takeover and bankruptcy of the City of Detroit have urged scholars to readjust theoretical accounts of neoliberalism. For a variety of reasons, cities have been on the front line of neoliberal adjustments and experiments since the 1970s. The city arguably constitutes what Jamie Peck and Adam Tickell refer to as “the bleeding edge of processes of punitive-institution building, social surveillance, and authoritarian governance” associated with what they call “neoliberalization.”2 Detroit, once a paragon of industrial capitalism and stronghold of organized labor offers an extreme, but highly instructive case of a city that has undergone major transformations in past decades that are crucial to explore in attempting to understand both neoliberalism and its associated crises. In this paper I will examine a relatively unexplored aspect of what I will refer to as neoliberal “governmentality”: debt considered as a force affecting the conduct and subjectivity of the city. Using Detroit as a primary example, I will argue that debt serves to discipline the conduct of cities in ways that exacerbate racialized political and economic inequality and leave cities systematically more vulnerable to increasingly authoritarian forms of control. -
Lessons from the Detroit Bankruptcy
Lessons From the Detroit Bankruptcy BACKGROUND Detroit’s experiences“ are n March 2013, acting under a controversial statute that vitally important for I authorized extraordinary action, many other urban areas Michigan Governor Rick Snyder in the United States for appointed Emergency Manager some time to come”... Kevyn Orr to replace the elected government of Detroit. By July, the emergency manager had filed for bankruptcy of the city. In November, anticipating a ruling on the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in the country’s history, Demos Senior Fellow Wallace Turbeville published a 70-page report, entitled The Detroit Bankruptcy, challenging the bankruptcy filing and the emergency manager’s central claims regarding the city’s financial situation. Turbeville told the true story of the city’s finances and helped disrupt the 2014 • 1 perception that the public sector and the relatively modest pay, pensions, and benefits of municipal workers are to blame for the crisis. The report amounted to the first substantial critique, from an expert perspective, of the emergency manager’s appointed mission to take the city through bankruptcy. Recently, the bankruptcy case shifted in a big way. In December, the judge rejected a settlement made prior to the bankruptcy proceedings by the emergency manager and two banks to resolve a complex financial deal dating back to 2005. This challenge was one of the key recommendations in Turbeville’s report. The banks were forced back to the table. Then, in February, the emergency manager reversed course completely and filed a lawsuit challenging the validity of the original 2005 deal. Again, this very challenge was recommended in detail by Turbeville in his report. -
DETROIT AGRICULTURE SECTOR Foreword
DETROIT AGRICULTURE SECTOR Foreword We welcome you to the Dutch trade mission to Detroit to be held on the 31st of May, 2015. We have developed an inspiring program around the themes “Food Security & Healthy Cities” where urban agriculture and greenhouse technology play a central role. We have modeled this program around the Detroit Urban Regen project by Except Integrated Sustainability with a mission to develop a new bio-based economic value chain within the city of Detroit. Detroit Urban Regen relies on the strengths of Detroit; such as the hard-working, production and processing oriented culture, the availability of skilled and unskilled labour, and low cost of land. The economic value chain uses these resources and strength to set a new foundation for the economic and social development, creating not only jobs but also developing new opportunities for working, living and housing. And importantly, community services for the well-being of workers and the city as a whole. With the Detroit Urban Regen project, Except and its partners, aim to create this new value chain around bio-based production, processing, retail and recycling. Except and its partners aim to exploit the strength of the Dutch to bring stakeholders together and develop the basic principles of this value chain where our American partners, entrepreneurs and the local community realize their own desires and ideas within the framework to rekindle the Detroit dream. Looking forward to see you on the 31st of May. Aernout Aki Ackerman Projectmanager trade mission Detroit Management Associate Except Integrated Sustainability 2 Acknowledgements The Dutch Embassy in Washington commissioned Except Integrated Sustainability to organize the trade mission event and this background report was prepared as part of this assignment. -
