Detroit Future City

We're working to put the massive Detroit Future City plan online so that everyone can read, discuss, and share it.


DetroitWiki

Edit your city! DetroitWiki is a website about Detroit that anyone can easily edit. It's collected information ranging from coffee shops in Detroit to detailed profiles of mayoral election candidates.

You can dive in any any time — or we'd love to host a training & editing party for your group.


Bring your own!

Our weekly meetups are a place to share your projects, no matter if they're ideas or fully-built apps. Come for help, support, or just to chat.
