In 2013, the Blight Removal Task Force in Detroit discovered that approximately 18.9% of land in Detroit met the definition of blight (Gilbert, 5). “Eliminating Detroit’s blight will dramatically improve the next chapter of the city’s story and implementation of a bold and better vision for the city’s future”(Gilbert, 1). Detroit is in desperate need of a large-scale project of urban renewal and redevelopment of blighted and vacant land to solve the accumulative setback. The construction of the new Detroit Red Wings Arena will be a major project not only to potentially solve this epidemic, but also to improve many factors destroying the city of Detroit. Furthermore, the Illitches’ large-scale Olympia Development will occupy a stretch of

Carlino and Coulson estimated the sales price models pre-redevelopment, during redevelopment, and post-redevelopment. After the large-scale construction of the sports stadiums, the city of Cleveland found renewal in the redeveloped land. According to Jerry Carlin and Edward Coulson’s study in 2000, there was a net increase of 12,181 private jobs in the downtown area, a 1.2 billion dollar increase in salaries in the downtown area, and the city of Cleveland itself received a 23.9 million dollar increase in tax revenue from pre-redevelopment (Rosentraub, 4). “The annual investment of approximately 46.2 million dollars from public funding in the redevelopment program produced over 41 million dollars in new revenue from the amusement income from the facility” (Rosentraub, 5). All together, the large-scale redevelopment plan occupied blighted, obsolete land and buildings in Cleveland, which ultimately changed much of the landscape and the image of living in downtown Cleveland. Consequently, the study conducted by Carlino and Coulson “found that Cleveland’s downtown area had the largest percentage increase in residents among the 20 fastest growing and declining center cities” (Rosentraub, 7). Results from the urban renewal process in Cleveland clearly express the benefits in constructing a large-scale urban redevelopment project in …show more content…
Moreover, this new Red Wings Arena will occupy the stretch of blighted land to improve the image of the city of Detroit, as well as accelerate urban economic development. Statistically, looking at the studies conducted in Cleveland, this development project is ideal in order to get Detroit back on solid ground. Although The Motor City Blight Busters have tried to help cover up the blighted structures and land in Detroit, the new Red Wings Arena will transform this blighted land into an area of profit and synergy of entertainment. In 2017, the new Detroit Red Wings Arena will connect the city by urban renewal and redevelopment of blighted land and in return the city of Detroit will be reestablished as the city of
