THE DEVELOPING URBAN DETROIT AREA RESEARCH PROJECT COLLECTION Papers, Printed Documents, and Graphics, 1910-1974 (Predominantly, 1964-1970) 40 Linear feet 2 over-sized boxes Accession Number 636 The Developing Urban Detroit Area Research Project (UDA) Collection was placed in the Archives of Labor History and Urban Affairs in 1973 by the Detroit Edison Company and was open for research in 1975. UDA was conceived by Walker L. Cisler, Chairman of the Board of the Detroit Edison Company. Begun in 1964, the project was sponsored by Detroit Edison and Wayne State University. Doxiadis Associates, an international urban planning organization headed by Constantinos A. Doxiadis, was selected to undertake the project. The stated aim of UDA from the beginning was "an un- derstanding of the problems created by dynamic urban growth in the Detroit Area and an exploitation of methods by which these problems can be faced successfully in the future." In the seven year history of the project, 1964-1972, a team of planners from Doxiadis Associates working in Detroit collected and created large amounts of written and graphic data. The series of this collection represent the most important subdivisions of this material. The principal findings of UDA were published in three volumes, collectively titled Emergence and Growth of an Urban Region. Copies of the work have been placed in the Archives Library. Substantially more written material produced by the project may be found in Series V. The collection as a whole preserves a record of the organization and evolution of the project. Coordinate with UDA were two other research projects, a study of larger urban patterns affecting the region, the Great Lakes Megalopolis (GLM) and a study of the greater Cleveland area, the Northern Ohio Urban System (NOUS). Printed materials from both GLM and NOUS may be found in Series V. -2- The Developing Urban Detroit Area Research Project Collection Important subjects covered in this collection are: Detroit and the Detroit Area, 1960-1970 Michigan local governments, 1960-1970 Ohio local governments, 1960-1970 Ontario local governments, 1960-1970 Public utility planning Urban planning Doxiadis, Constantinos A.
