Detroit was long able to boast unparalleled economic growth. During the 1920s, one skyscraper was built after another; department stores and palatial cinemas lined the streets. It is no wonder that the number of inhabitants rose from 285,700 to 1.85 million between 1900 and 1950. Detroit, as the powerhouse of the U.S., was not just a city. It served as a unique model for a new type of metropolis and a modern society. After 1950, the boomtown became one of the first to experience the drift of population to the edges of town. The sub-urbanization of Detroit took place against a background marked not only by the rise of the car, but also by racial tension. Between 1940 and 1960, the proportion of blacks in the population grew to one-third. The white middle-classes, full of resentment against the black lower classes, fled to the periphery. In 1998, 78% of those living in the suburbs were white, while 79% of those in the inner city were black. The sub-urbanization of Detroit did not bring a creeping reduction in density, but a dramatic one. Nowadays, one third of the entire city area lies derelict. Countless buildings have been demolished. 4,000 of those still standing are vacant and abandoned: locked, boarded and walled-up. After 1950, the gigantic factories were decentralized, partly for strategic military reasons, partly owing to the drift, especially of white people, to the suburbs. As a consequence of the oil crisis of 1973 and increasing competition from foreign manufacturers, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors suffered immense losses. Between 1970 and 1980 alone, Detroit lost 208,000 jobs. In view of its social problems, Detroit was looked upon as a hopeless case. In such a situation, vandalism can become frequent, as illustrated by the ritual Devil’s Night: year after year, on Halloween, the night of the 31st of October to the 1st of November, countless empty houses and cars are set alight in Detroit. For some years now, new investment has been flowing into the center of downtown--modestly, but steadily. Now that the social and political tension between the inner city and the metropoli- tan area has died down, Detroit can make capital, in individual cases, from its old title of ‘Motor City’--but only the downtown is experiencing a slow urban recovery. The articles collected in the present publication investigate the historical, socio-economic, urban and cultural processes affecting Detroit. The text section is introduced by a chronological outline of Detroit’s general history. The essays introduce positions showing different approaches to a city which has faced high degrees of suburbanization, segregation, and urban decline. Robert Fishman, together with a team of urban specialists, asked urban historians, social scien- tists, and working planners to rank the influences which shaped and will shape the urban devel- opment of America’s metropolises. The results show the overwhelming impact of federal pro- grams on the urban crisis affecting American cities during the past 50 years. What will influ- ence the next 50 years? The prognoses diverge between those forecasting a continuation of the urban situation, a ‘smart’ change in federal policies, and socio-demographic effects. Jerry Herron examines the 300-year history of Detroit from a distanced but participatory perspective of its history and collective memory. Herron states that Detroit’s history is based on forgetting how to remember history. The statement of Henry Ford epitomizes the phenomenon of forgetting: “History is more or less the bunk ... We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.” The journalist John Gallagher examines the ‘city’ of Detroit, where the urban landscape has been relocated to suburbia. Recent decades have seen a deep change in the meaning of the term ‘urban landscape.’ Gallagher states that in Detroit, as in no other city, the suburban landscape “with its spatial orientation, both chaotic and regimented … has become the dominant model.” During the last century, Detroit’s image changed from that of the ‘Motor City’ to that of the ‘most segregated city in America,’ in a manner exemplary for the contemporary U.S.A. Which cir- cumstances and events shaped Detroit in these years? Jason Booza and Kurt Metzger offer

Acknowledgements: The research on which this study is based would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of managers, workers and union officials at NUMMI. Gary Robinson helped transcribe taped interviews with them and discern the key points. This article has benefitted from the comments of several NUMMI people and from the responses of many friends and colleagues: Chris Argyris, Joel Beinin, Christian Berggren, Bob Brenner, Clair Brown, El Buffa, Bob Cole, John Ettlie, Steve Frenkel, Don Gerwin, Meg Graham, Jan Hopland, Sandy Jacoby, Ed Lawler, Ann Majchrzak, Ruth Milkman, Michael Reich, Dick Scott, Bill Simon, David Stern, Steve Wheelwright, Bob Sutton, Lowell Turner, and Stephen Wood. My thinking has also been stimulated by the reaction of colleagues to presentations at the USC, Harvard Business School, NYU, UCLA, and UC Berkeley. My thanks to all these people, many of whom still disagree. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................... 3 RESEARCH METHODS.........................................................................................

For more information, please contact [email protected]. FUTURE WORLD(S): A Critique of Disney's EPCOT and Creating a Futuristic Curriculum by ALAN BOWERS (Under the Direction of Daniel Chapman) ABSTRACT In my dissertation inquiry, I explore the need for utopian based curriculum which was inspired by Walt Disney’s EPCOT Center. Theoretically building upon such works regarding utopian visons (Bregman, 2017, e.g., Claeys 2011;) and Disney studies (Garlen and Sandlin, 2016; Fjellman, 1992), this work combines historiography and speculative essays as its methodologies. In addition, this project explores how schools must do the hard work of working toward building a better future (Chomsky and Foucault, 1971). Through tracing the evolution of EPCOT as an idea for a community that would “always be in the state of becoming” to EPCOT Center as an inspirational theme park, this work contends that those ideas contain possibilities for how to interject utopian thought in schooling.

  • The Wonderful World of Motion
    FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007 Welcome to the Wonderful World of Motion... When EPCOT Center opened on October 1, 1982, one of the few Future World attractions was the transportation based World of Motion. This attraction, sponsored by General Motors and housed in The Transportation Pavilion, presented a history of transportation from the days of foot power all the way through futuristic methods such as the Lean Machine. The attraction was basically broken into two parts: the ride-through attraction and the TransCenter, which was presented in a walk-through format. What set this attraction apart from its Future World counterparts was its approach to the subject matter. Unlike other EPCOT Center attractions, World of Motion was "the funny one," opting for a fun and whimsical approach over the more serious, sometimes even stern approach taken by its counterparts. The ride scenes, designed by Marc Davis, presented what would have otherwise been very serious fare in a most entertaining tongue in cheek fashion. Among the jokes were the invention of the wheel, used chariot sales (including a hidden Mickey), and Leonardo da Vinci ignoring a rather perturbed Mona Lisa so he could instead design flying machines. Also included was an effect somewhat akin to the hitchhiking ghosts at the Magic Kingdom, only this time the entire ride vehicle was made to look like a streamlined futuristic car. Once your ride was over you were invited to explore the TransCenter, the walking part of the attraction. This part of the attraction was accessible both via the ride and through an exterior entrance, so you didn't necessarily have to ride to experience this part of the attraction.

  • Sandia Ranks at the Very Top Ed
    State of the Labs Sandia Ranks at the Very Top Ed. Note: President George Dacey re• cently shared with members of Public Affairs and Employee Communica• tions Department 3160 his views of San• dia's past, present, and future. This is a summary of that discussion. SLN: Let's begin with our relationship with DOE, especially in light of the recent report by ERAB (Energy Research Advis• ory Board), which studied the role of the national labs. GCD: The ERAB report is a very satis• factory report, I think, from our standpoint. It recognizes that the national laboratories differ among themselves - some are weapon laboratories, some are engineering laboratories, some are physics labora• tories, some operate facilities, and others have a single, precise mission. The report no longer attempts to give a single role statement that applies to all the labs. A second and most important perception from our standpoint was the recognition that the national labs, Sandia in particular, are national resources and therefore should be treated with the respect due any valu• able possession. You can dissipate such a resource very easily, but it takes many years, a generation or so, to build a labora• tory of quality. "Our stock with DOE has never been higher." A third perception, which is welcome at GEORGE DACEY, president of Sandia National Laboratories. least from our rather narrow point of view, is that the ERAB felt that the laboratories were well managed by local professionals in science and engineering but that there was too much of an attempt to "micromanage" from Washington.
