Research on the City
Opening of Exhibition
This grant program and exhibition were generously supported by alumni Alan and Cynthia Reavis Berkshire.
In its inaugural year, Research on the City is a competitive faculty research grant program, intended to foster interdisciplinary research on urban topics. Today cities and their metropolitan regions face some of the greatest challenges of our time, among others rapid growth or depopulation, environmental challenges and economic instability. In this initial year, the grant proposals were limited to research projects that focus on the city of Detroit.
