Detroit has undergone a lot of economical, demographic, and environmental changes over the past few decades. The decline that occurred in Detroit had a strong impact on the state as well. People lost their jobs, many left the city, and population was dramatically decreased. These issues were interlinked with economic inequality, lack of education and lack of affordable housing, etc. Many public issues go unresolved such as low graduation rates, inadequate access to transportation, youth violence, and employment etc. History of ecological disregard has made the city hazardous. Environmental issues such as air pollution, waste recycling and contaminated lakes are a great concern. Research is carrying out from all sides to reduce the intensity of these problems. Upgrading the physical infrastructure of transportation, sanitation and social infrastructures like schools, universities, hospitals, and communities, etc., uplifts the standard of living. Groups of non-profit and environmental justice organizations like Detroit Environmental Agenda (DEA) focuses on interlinked social, economic, and environmental injustices. The main purpose of this paper is to study the present scenario of social and environmental issues for Detroit by the analyzing case studies regarding the issues and suggesting possible solutions for them. |
