A new Detroit is on the rise, armed with its legendary grit and determination, diversity, and innovative capacity, it has the knowledge assets to forge a better future.

Add to that its pioneering musical history and world-class cultural institutions, the city has the DNA to become a truly great global city. Great cities shape their own narrative, and they create a new narrative for the world. Though Detroit has been the poster-child for urban distress, it’s also been charting a new path back.
