    Planning Detroit's Public Spaces, 1805-2018 by Patrick D. Cooper

    The Promise of Parkland: Planning Detroit’s Public Spaces, 1805-2018 by Patrick D. Cooper-McCann A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning) in The University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Emerita Margaret Dewar, Chair Associate Professor Scott Campbell Associate Professor David Thacher Professor June Manning Thomas Patrick Cooper-McCann [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-4626-141X © Patrick D. Cooper-McCann 2019 Dedication To my parents ii Acknowledgements Not every bright, ambitious kid from Hazel Park gets the chance to go to college, let alone pursue a doctorate. The fact that I’ve completed a dissertation at the University of Michigan testifies to the extraordinary support I’ve received throughout my life to follow my curiosity wherever it might lead. I’m especially grateful for my parents and siblings, who gave me the confidence that I could succeed as an intellectual. Reaching this milestone also required extraordinary financial support. Every step of my education, from grade school to graduate school, would have been unaffordable if not for the generosity of others. My parents struggled at times to pay for parochial schools, especially during spells of unemployment. When money was truly scarce, we were grateful for charity and public assistance—and I was grateful for the Hazel Park public library, which kept me happily supplied with books, free of charge. Grants and scholarships covered the full cost of college, and thanks to federally subsidized loans, I could also study abroad in Santiago, Chile. Fellowships enabled me to intern with nonprofit organizations in Detroit.
