Detroit Evolution Update
October 22nd, 2010 – Detroit - We hope this finds you all well. Thanks to recent media coverage quite a few people have been round to see what Detroit Evolution are up to. We thank you for your interest in our work and invite you to explore. Our goal is to be as open source as possible in the hope that you’ll be able to take away info and/or inspiration to take up the call of relocalization in your neighborhood.
Aya Eden, Angela & Gregg - Oct 2010
Our current focus is on development and promotion of community driven hyper-local urban cottage economies, recognizing existing community kitchens and urban agriculture as a foundation. We’re also actively learning how to express that tough conversations on Race are mandatory for the co-creation of a relocalized Detroit.
