Abstract
THE DETROIT CITY PLANNING COMMISSION COMPLETED A MASTER PLAN IN 1950, MAKING AVAILABLE AN ORIGIN-DESTINATION STUDY. A CITY LAND USE PLAN, A REGIONAL LAND USE PLAN, AND SOME INDUSTRIAL STUDIES ARE AVAILABLE. THE NEW CONCEPT OF LAND USE, USING ALL OF THE AVAILABLE STUDIES, IS BEING USED TO PLAN THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM THROUGH DETROIT. THE CONNECTING ROADS AND ACCESS ROADS TO THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM ARE BEING PLANNED. TWO TYPES SHOULD BE INVOLVED: PLANNING RIGHT ALONG WITH THE DETAILED EXPRESSWAY LOCATION, AND PLANNING WITH RSPECT TO WHAT THE CITY SHOULD BE IN THE FUTURE. RESEARCH PROJECTS ARE NEEDED IN THE DETROIT URBAN AREA TO HELP WITH THIS PLAN.
