The mayor's document outlines a strategic planning process to address challenges facing Detroit over four phases, with the goal of developing a final strategic framework plan. It discusses analyzing data to understand issues like declining population, vacant housing and jobs, high rates of driving alone, and inefficient delivery of services. Charts show opportunities like bringing population and tax revenue to historic levels by filling vacant homes, creating jobs by attracting people and investment, and increasing funding for transportation and city services by operating more efficiently. The mayor seeks public input through an online survey to help guide next steps in the planning process.
