Detroit stands at another crossroad. But this time, it’s not just about who wins an election—it’s about whether Detroit finally centers its people in policy, or continues a legacy of planning that leaves its legacy residents behind. As signatures close and the mayoral race officially shifts into gear, Detroit Future City (DFC) has delivered more than a policy paper. It’s a challenge. A roadmap. A mirror. And for anyone aiming to occupy the mayor’s office come January, it’s a test of whether they are ready to lead with the kind of vision that speaks to Detroit’s present while repairing the fractures of its past.
