Michigan Suburbs Alliance to host annual Regional Redevelopment Summit Mar. 23

How do we create demand for cities and regions? 

Michigan Suburbs Alliance will host its annual Regional Redevelopment Summit on March 23 at the Fairlane Club in Dearborn. The keynote speaker will be Paul Schutt, co-founder and co-CEO of Issue Media Group (IMG).

In Paul Schutt’s presentation, he will discuss how media is providing “alternative narratives” for neighborhoods, cities and metropolitan areas. The discussion will focus on models that support a virtuous cycle by focusing on growth, investment, sense of place and thought leaders for the new economy.

Excerpt:

In southeast Michigan’s current real estate market, many cities are struggling to get the word out about their viable redevelopment opportunities.  They need new, innovative strategies for communicating to potential investors.  At the 2007 Regional Redevelopment Summit, cities, developers, realtors and communications professionals will come together to explore innovative solutions to this region-wide barrier to redevelopment.
