The essence of city life throughout the world is defined by expressive, and sometimes distinctive, public spaces that epitomize community by drawing diverse populations together and expressing vitality through interaction, activities and events. From Tbilisi to Miami Beach, the best cultural districts in the world combine leisure, commerce and performance to create an all-inclusive hub and welcoming destination for the public. Together with our partner, Midtown Detroit Inc. (MDI), we know that the public space in Detroit’s cultural district will make our community stronger. Therefore, we are setting out to create a more vibrant, sustainable Midtown neighborhood for the residents of our region, as well as visitors from around the globe. With many innovative and forward-thinking cultural centers as our inspiration, we seek to create one of this community’s most attractive and diverse gathering places on the exterior grounds of the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA), one’s of world’s preeminent museums, as we also forge a sense of connectedness between the neighboring institutions including the Charles H.
