Throughout the Great Lakes, cities are dedicating resources to make their waterfronts more accessible to residents and tourists.
We spoke with Mark Wallace, president and CEO of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, about the transformation of Detroit’s waterfront, which is the subject of a new documentary.
“The Riverfront Conservancy was brought together to steward the transformation of the riverfront from a really neglected, industrial blighted area into a beautiful public space where everyone comes together, everyone feels welcome, and everyone feels a great sense of pride in the city of Detroit,” Wallace said.
