But what of Robertson's Detroit neighbors, likewise stuck in a blighted city without services as basic as a bus line? What they're left with, after decades of disinvestment and decline, is DIY urbanism--sweeping their own streets, maintaining public parks, planting community gardens, boarding up empty buildings, even acting as real estate agents and landlords for abandoned homes. DIY Detroit describes a phenomenon that, in our times of austerity measures and market-based governance, has become woefully routine as inhabitants of deteriorating cities "domesticate" public services in order to get by. The voices that animate this book humanize Detroit's troubles--from a middle-class African American civic activist drawn back by a crisis of conscience; to a young Latina stay-at-home mom who has never left the city and whose husband works in construction; to a European woman with a mixed-race adopted family and a passion for social reform, who introduces a chicken coop, goat shed, and market garden into the neighborhood. These people show firsthand how living with disinvestment means getting organized to manage public works on a neighborhood scale, helping friends and family members solve logistical problems, and promoting creativity, compassion, and self-direction as an alternative to broken dreams and passive lifestyles. Kimberley Kinder reveals how the efforts of these Detroiters and others like them create new urban logics and transform the expectations residents have about their environments. At the same time she cautions against romanticizing such acts, which are, after all, short-term solutions to a deep and spreading social injustice that demands comprehensive change. 606 $aUrban policy$zMichigan$zDetroit$xCitizen participation 606 $aCivic improvement$zMichigan$zDetroit 606 $aMunicipal services$zMichigan$zDetroit$xCitizen participation 606 $aUrban renewal$zMichigan$zDetroit$xCitizen participation 606 $aCommunity development$zMichigan$zDetroit 607 $aDetroit (Mich.)$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrban policy$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aCivic improvement 615 0$aMunicipal services$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aUrban renewal$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aCommunity development 676 $a307.1/40977434 700 $aKinder$b Kimberley$01156001 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135963003321 996 $aDIY Detroit$92890333 997 $aUNINA
