At the end of this week I’m headed to Detroit, where I will be researching social entrepreneurship and innovative uses of urban space! Here’s some of my initial research.
- Model D Media: online magazine “creating new narratives” for Detroit since 2005
- The Detroit Foodie: underground and innovative good eats
- Avalon International Breads: a bakery working toward an “agri-urban economy” in Detroit
- Detroit Lives: creative projects, social impact ventures
- Detroit Curbed: real estate, repurposing urban space
- Detroit SOUP: a monthly dinner funding micro-grants for creative projects
- Hantz Farms: transforming vacant lots into agricultural production
- Suddenly Sauer: local food pickling and preservation business
- Greening of Detroit: what it sounds like
- InsideOut Detroit: bringing literary arts into public schools
- GourmetUnderground Detroit: foodie spot
