WDET (Detroit Public Radio) has a daily show all about Detroit topics – Detroit Today. This morning they discussed transit-oriented development and its potential for Troy and greater Detroit. TRU Director Megan Owens and UM Real Estate Program Director Chris Leinberger were the guests for this very interesting 45-minute discussion. You can listen to the discussion online on WDET On Demand (select Detroit Today for Nov 6).
Each year, U of M’s Real Estate program partners with the Urban Land Institute for a forum focused on the redevelopment potential of a part of southeast Michigan. This year’s forum will be on Nov 7 & 8, focused on "Linking Suburban & Urban Town Centers Via Transit." It will focus specifically on the possibility for development around a new Troy transit center.
