Morphological change through residential redevelopment: Detroit, 1951-2000

Abstract

This study examines the morphological changes that occur when residential redevelopment takes place in severely deteriorated inner-city areas. Six large redevelopments completed between 1990 and 2000 in Detroit, Michigan, USA are examined. Seven morphological characteristics of the new housing are compared with those of the housing that existed in 1951. © International Seminar on Urban Form, 2006.
