This unique history depicts Detroit as a city of innovation, resilience, and leadership in responding to change, and examines the current sustainability paradigm shift to which Detroit is responding, pivoting as the city has done in the past to redefine itself and lead the nation and world down a more sustainable path. This book details the building of a new waterfront porch alongside the Detroit River called the Detroit RiverWalk to help revitalize the city and region and promote sustainability practices.

Savannah College of Art and Design president Wallace presents a stunning and varied collection of porches--some becolumned old beauties, others modern marvels--all reflecting their owners' unique desires and sensibilities.
