Detroit Future City 50 Year Land Use Zones

The Detroit Future City Strategic Framework is a land use planning document that was released in 2012. It outlines recommendations for transforming Detroit's land use policies and codes over the next fifty years, and covers a broad range of issues from economic and workforce development to transportation and green infrastructure. The shapes in this file represent the 50-year recommended land use for the City of Detroit, based on this plan. The geographies are based off of dissolved parcels from the City of Detroit Planning and Development Department.
