Detroit is a vibrant city, known as a major cultural center for its contributions to music and providing a home for art, design, and architecture. It is also a minority-majority city with a population of almost 79 percent Black or African American residents. Although Detroit’s population has continued to decline since 1950, the decline has slowed in recent years. Meanwhile, development has continued to change the landscape. Between 1990 and 2000, land in the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) region was developed three times faster than the population grew. According to the City of Detroit Planning Department, there is approximately 22,000 acres of urban forest and 24.3% canopy coverage out of 89,000 total city acres. Potential impacts from climate change on trees and green spaces are a prominent concern, as the city is projected to experience increased temperatures, more frequent and intense precipitation, as well as fluctuating lake levels that threaten both human and environmental health. Climate change challenges may present opportunities for land managers and other decision-makers to develop adaptation strategies, further engage with their communities, create new partnerships and programs, expand their volunteer base, and make investments in resilient landscapes.
