Abstract:

The University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) seeks to transform sustainability learning through new curricular tools that incorporate multimedia sources, build both scientific and professional skills, and nurture partnerships with practitioners for extended engaged learning beyond the classroom. The Michigan Sustainability Cases (MSCs) bring case-based teaching to the sustainability field and redefine cases by making them more immersive and multimodal, for traction with diverse kinds of learners. MSCs are hosted on an open access, interactive platform called Gala that makes case studies accessible both for individual use and to enhance face-to-face experiential learning. This article analyzes one MSC case about urban farming in Detroit, Michigan, as it embodies principles of cocreation, integration into multiple curricula, and digital innovation for enhanced experiential learning. Specifically, we describe how it was collaboratively produced, deployed and iteratively improved in successive SEAS classrooms, incorporated field learning in Detroit for strong user experiences from students, but also for faculty and practitioners. We further note its impact on the lead author’s development projects within Detroit’s landscape, suggesting cases as catalysts for more ethical, efficient, and inclusive sustainability science and policy in practice.

Abstract:

As residents have increasingly moved from urban centers to suburbs, several cities have not been able to create effective solutions to the problems that such population loss has presented. Abandoned properties have proven to be the primary problem, and nowhere is that problem more pronounced than in Detroit. Urban agriculture has been widely embraced on a grassroots level as a potential solution to the pervasive problems that abandoned properties present and that cities have been unable to solve. While urban agriculture networks have largely arisen outside of municipal control, several cities are beginning to recognize urban agriculture as a potential tool for urban revitalization. However, there is a basic problem: many cities in which urban farming has flourished are riddled with brownfields. It is possible for cities and the urban agriculture community to turn this obstacle into an opportunity if they work together. By utilizing the Michigan Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act to incentivize urban farming, Detroit could not only promote urban agriculture as a cost-effective tool for the revitalization of some of Detroit’s most distressed neighborhoods, but could also ensure that the farmers and the food they produce are safe from toxic contamination. By encouraging urban farms, Detroit will for the first time have a truly viable strategy to reversing blight and revitalizing some of the city’s most depressed areas.

Abstract:

In post-industrial Michigan cities of Flint and Detroit, there is a need for art that brings residents together while addressing community issues. Collaborations in dance and poetry engage both traditional and nontraditional audiences while creating a unique visual and audio performance. Separately, the art forms receive less interest. Performing together outdoors, dance and poetry receive more viewer attention, while in traditional dance settings, the message of the two forms is reinforced by one another. “Intersections of Dance and Poetry in Post-Industrial Michigan” examines five collaborations in Flint and Detroit that address community issues while reaching across divisions of class and culture.

Abstract:

The consequences of neoliberal colorblind policies concerning environmental justice in Michigan are explored using critical race theorist Alan Freeman’s victim and perpetrator perspectives on legal decision-making. The victim perspective allows evidence of disparate impact to be proof of unequal protection under the law. The dominant perpetrator perspective requires proof of the intent to discriminate for a racial discrimination claim to be valid. Michigan’s environmental legal history is examined through the lens of these two perspectives, tracing how Michigan as a state, with the aid of the federal government, has institutionalized a racialized caste system of ‘worthiness’ for environmental protection through strict adherence to the perpetrator perspective. Specific attention is paid to the water crisis in Flint and a Marathon Oil refinery in Detroit. The injustices occurring at these locations are less the result of racist individuals than the product of decades of neoliberal colorblind policymaking supported and upheld in our court rooms.

Abstract:

As Ladefoged (1999) points out in his description of American English, there is considerable diversity in the phonetic characteristics of English spoken in North America, such that the commonly used phrase ‘General American English’ is not entirely meaningful. The description of American English provided by Ladefoged was based on a southern California dialect. The purpose of this report is to augment that account with a brief description of southern Michigan speech patterns. According to Labov and colleagues (e.g. Labov, Yeager & Steiner 1972, Labov 1994), southern Michigan, particularly in its urban areas, is part of a relatively large dialect region in the inland northeast United States called ‘Northern Cities’. According to Labov, the Northern Cities dialect cuts an irregular swath through a chain of cities in the inland northeast extending, roughly, from upstate New York (e.g. Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo), through northern Ohio (e.g. Cleveland, Toledo), southern Michigan (e.g. Detroit, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids), northwest Indiana (e.g. Gary, Hammond), northeast Illinois (e.g. Chicago, Rockford) and south-central Wisconsin (e.g. Milwaukee, Madison). Speakers from neighboring regions such as northwest Vermont, northwest Pennsylvania, and north-central/northeast Indiana appear to show some features of the dialect. Labov contends that the vowel shifts that characterize the Northern Cities dialect are observed in their most advanced forms in the largest urban areas of the region, such as Detroit, Buffalo, and Rochester.

Abstract:

Many urban beaches on fresh water lakes and rivers face closure during peak summer periods due to dangerous concentrations of fecal coliforms and other waterborne contaminants. One such example is the Lake Erie Metro Park which is located approximately 22 km (14 miles) downriver of Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, at the mouth of the Detroit River.N.K. Becker & Associates Ltd. was retained in 1985 to research and develop a functional design for a swim basin that will be formed by cordoning off an area of the Detroit River with a breakwater. A unique feature of this breakwater is that it is being designed to filter water from the Detroit River to the extent required for safe swimming. When it is constructed in 1988, it will be capable of accommodating approximately 1500 swimmers.Extensive hydraulic model studies were carried out at the universities of Windsor and Michigan to research and develop a functional design for this facility. The methodology used to develop the design concepts for this swim basin as well as the results of the testing program are described in this paper. Key words: fecal coliforms, swim basin, sand filter, breakwater, hydraulic model, beach, circulation, waves, water deficit, precast concrete cylinders.

Abstract:

In this paper, I develop an empirical framework for the analysis of large-scale policies, and apply it to study the effects of school finance reform on the Detroit metropolitan area. Exploiting school finance reform in Michigan in 1994, I estimate a general equilibrium model of multiple jurisdictions with 1990 data from Detroit, predict the 2000 equilibrium, and compare this prediction with 2000 data to validate the model. I conduct counterfactual simulations using the estimates. According to my analysis, feasible revenue-based reforms that ensure spending equity or adequacy have little impact on school quality or household demographics in Detroit. (JEL H75, I22)

Abstract:

Abstract Background Detroit, Michigan has a poverty rate nearly three times the national average. Homeless shelters are at risk for infectious outbreaks due to reduced healthcare access for residents, compounded by overcrowding, hygienic challenges, lack of resources, and transient nature of residents. Prior to the first reported COVID-19 case in Michigan, the Detroit Health Department prioritized screening of both asymptomatic and symptomatic homeless residents residing in the city’s shelters. Early identification of COVID-19 positive cases allowed for implementation of strategies to halt further spread. Methods A surveillance strategy was implemented prior to the first confirmed COVID-19 case in Michigan. Surveillance involved temperature and symptom checks at each homeless shelter, three times weekly. 24 shelters were screened for symptoms, 13 shelters had universal testing performed. Two city-operated quarantine sites for COVID-positive and –suspected homeless individuals were organized. If a shelter resident tested positive, that shelter was placed in quarantine, and new referrals stopped for 14 days. Temperature and symptom check frequency increased to daily for 14 days. If a patient was positive for fever or symptoms, they were transferred to the quarantine center for testing and isolation. Results Over 23,000 temperature and symptom checks occurred in 24 shelters across Detroit since February 22. This identified 15 patients who were referred to the quarantine site. From April 11 to May 31, 721 residents from 13 homeless shelters were screened with universal testing for COVID-19, and 93 (12.9%) tested positive (Figure 1). Of 95 homeless residents who were referred through shelter surveillance, from the local hospital system and via unsheltered street outreach, and tested on-site at the quarantine and isolation shelter, 29 (31%) tested positive for COVID-19, and 66 (69%) tested negative. Figure 1. System-wide homeless shelter testing of COVID-19 Conclusion Homeless populations across the US are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, with high risk for rapid spread due to crowding and difficulty with physical distancing. The need for increased testing- and prevention-based strategies in this population is crucial. The process performed in Detroit’s homeless shelters can be a model for other communities at risk for COVID-19 outbreaks. Disclosures Marcus Zervos, MD, Melinta Therapeutics (Grant/Research Support)

Abstract:

Like many predominantly Black urban cities, Detroit, Michigan, has experienced significant out-migration among Black residents over the past 30 years. This situation has altered families’ relationships to the communities and schools where they have been nurtured or call home. Therefore, this paper examines how seven Black families’ place attachments influenced their geographic movement and school choices in the Detroit metropolitan region. Findings show that despite families’ movement to surrounding suburbs, varied experiences in Detroit influenced families’ decision-making regarding where to live, their search for sociocultural experiences that supported their families holistically, and their perceptions and navigation of municipal boundaries and borders. Families’ intention toward maintaining connections with Detroit enact what I term embracing the city. Embracing the city helps consider the importance of socio-spatial ties that persist and orient Black families’ community perceptions and school choices in suburban contexts.

Abstract:

Abstract Windsor in Ontario, Canada and Detroit in Michigan, USA are Great Lakes border cities on the Detroit River that have a long history of water pollution. Public outcry over water pollution in the 1960s led to the enactment of environmental laws starting in the early 1970s. As these laws were implemented and water quality improved, citizens started calling for improved public access to the river, including establishing linked riverfront greenways. This paper presents a case study of greenway development in these border cities based on indicator reporting to comprehensively assess ecosystem health. Findings show that waterfront greenways were catalyzed by cleanup of the Detroit River. As greenway systems expanded on both sides of the border, greenway stakeholders began to envision cross-border greenway connections that would stimulate ecotourism, help encourage healthy lifestyles, and enhance quality of life in southwest Ontario and southeast Michigan. Recommended next steps include investing in greenway capacity building, identifying and testing creative financing options for greenways, formalizing institutional arrangements between Canada and the United States for a binational greenway network, and strengthening cross-border greenway connections by reestablishing a cross-border ferry, offering free access to the tunnel bus on weekends for cyclists, and hosting Windsor-Detroit open streets’ events. Robust transboundary greenway partnerships are critical to realizing the full potential of cross border greenway systems, including expanding outdoor recreation and ecotourism, conserving natural resources, and inspiring a stewardship ethic for shared ecosystems.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Southeast Michigan is home to one of the largest, most highly concentrated populations of people of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent in the United States. This case study includes summaries of MENA-related collections at four separate repositories: the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan, the Arab American National Museum, the Dearborn Historical Museum, and Eastern Michigan University Archives. This region not only provides unparalleled archival holdings, but researchers and archivists are actively working with local MENA communities to create future collections. In this study, staff from each of the four profiled institutions have contributed a summary that links collections across institutions and illustrates the importance of visiting two or more sites to fully understand the region's Arab American community. The authors reveal how researchers can find a rich collection of artifacts and photographs, oral histories, personal papers and organizational records, published materials, and government documents all within a half-hour drive of the Detroit Metro Airport. These collections, which are local, national, and international in scope, make metropolitan Detroit a crucial research site for historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and other scholars examining the life and culture of MENA communities across the United States.

Full text

Abstract:

This article evaluates the impacts of reductions in residential effective tax rates on homeownership in Detroit, Michigan. The decline in effective tax rates was driven by a citywide reassessment that significantly reduced effective tax rates. These estimates are used to infer the potential impacts of moving from a traditional property tax to a split-rate tax in which the tax rate applied to land is higher than the tax rate applied to structures. Using Detroit parcel-level data over the years 2012–2019, we find that tax reductions resulting from property reassessment generated a very small net decrease in homeownership. Our evaluation suggests that moving to a split rate tax would likely result in a minimal change in the homeownership rate in Detroit.

Abstract:

Rewilding attempts to increase biodiversity and restore natural ecosystem processes by reducing human influence. Today, there is growing interest in rewilding urban areas. Rewilding of the Detroit, Michigan, USA and Windsor, Ontario, Canada metropolitan area, and its shared natural resource called the Detroit River, has been delineated through the reintroduction of peregrine falcons and osprey, and a return of other sentinel species like bald eagles, lake sturgeon, lake whitefish, walleye, beaver, and river otter. Rewilding has helped showcase the value and benefits of environmental protection and restoration, ecosystem services, habitat rehabilitation and enhancement, and conservation, including social and economic benefits. Improved ecosystem health and rewilding have become a catalyst for re-establishing a reconnection between urban denizens and natural resources through greenways and water trails. The provision of compelling outdoor experiences in nature, in turn, can help foster a personal attachment to the particular place people call home that can help inspire a stewardship ethic.

This article discusses the 162-years history of the only known nineteenth-century timber-frame farmers’ market in existence today. Designed by an architect, this immense building required great skill from the tradespeople who built it from old-growth Michigan white pine timbers. No machinery was used in planing the surfaces or cutting the mortise-and-tenon joinery that holds the structure together. It is without question one of the most highly finished and decorated timber frames known to exist today. Its reconstruction in Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Museum will guarantee its continuing existence for generations to come.

Abstract:

The main purpose of the research is to complete the observation of the phenomenon of entrepreneur resilience and collaborative innovative financial leadership in the United States. Starting a new business is a demanding, and stressful process creating significant changes in a business owner’s life (Yang & Danes, 2015). Due to the financial crisis in 2007-2008, chapter 9 bankruptcy in 2013, and the current insufficiency of jobs in Detroit, Michigan, many individuals had to start their microbusiness. Detroit, Michigan suffered the most extensive municipal bankruptcy filings in American history with a debt estimation close to twenty billion dollars (Washburn, 2015). The methodology is the observation all current and prior existing literature and facts available for the purpose of understanding the current phenomenon of entrepreneur financial innovation leadership. Many entrepreneurs did not have a choice but to start their own business in Detroit, Michigan. Today, entrepreneurs are stressed out, because of the lack of resources needed to provide for themselves and their families while striving to grow their business. If entrepreneurs are not resilient and innovative leadership, they will not survive. This research study confirms and theoretically proves that there is a strong need for microbusiness owners to gain more insight into the relationship between entrepreneur resilience and financial innovation leadership to survive and grow their business. Winterhalter et al. (2016) stated that smaller firms lack the resources of larger organizations to invest in financial innovation leadership to grow their business. Smallbone et al. (2012) stated that small businesses are commonly considered less resilient than larger businesses due to lack of resources, bargaining power, and are unable to spread risk across a large customer base. The critical review study can be useful for the entrepreneurs around the globe. Keywords: Resilience, Financial Innovation.

Abstract:

Automakers are using French-born manufacturing software to improve the machining and assembly of their vehicles. Carmakers use ILOG software to determine the order of building vehicles that will optimize production, maximizing return on investment. A more recent French software entrant in the Detroit area is ILOG, which opened a sales and technical support office in Southfield, Michigan, in May 2000, to serve the US automotive market. Delmia Corp.’s, a French company, labs in Troy, Paris, Montreal, Stuttgart, and Bangalore, India, customize software services to design, simulate, optimize, and control production activities, which account for up to 80 percent of the cost of manufactured goods. Delmia adapted three of its proprietary software tools to form the core software of the V-Comm Project. The Delmia Assembly Module enables users to evaluate alternative sequences of assembly to achieve the optimal lean solution. Toyota engineers working in V-Comm rooms at 20 Toyota locations in Japan, Europe, and North America use the Delmia software to create virtual prototypes that are projected on large screens, and to observe the visual data in three dimensions.

Abstract:

Abstract Human–wildlife interactions in urban areas are widely reported by ecologists to be the result of human encroachment on wildlife habitat. Highly mobile species, however, have been documented by both wildlife biologists and casual observers to occupy areas heavily populated by humans. Range expansion and population growth of coyotes (Canis latrans) has led to their increased presence in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan, where poor economic conditions over the last several decades have resulted in the reversion of numerous recreational areas and abandoned parcels to more wooded or vegetated conditions that have provided potential wildlife habitat. We performed an extensive survey for coyote evidence (i.e., carcasses, den sites, scats, sightings, or tracks) across metropolitan Detroit to examine distribution across both the general region and specific land cover types. We found 58% of all coyote evidence on unpaved trails, paths, and unimproved roads within edge habitats (e.g., grassland adjacent to urban non-vegetative land cover), with den sites and tracks the only types of evidence found strictly in interior habitats. Land cover around evidence points included more wooded land cover than expected in suburban areas, suggesting the importance of tree cover for coyote occupancy, and more open space and wooded land cover than expected in urban areas, highlighting the coyotes' avoidance of heavily populated areas. We speculate that habitat characterized by tree cover has likely never been limiting within metropolitan Detroit, and that reoccupation of southeastern Michigan by coyotes is more likely a consequence of expanding coyote populations outside of suburban and urban areas rather than newly available habitat resulting from land cover change.

Abstract:

AbstractOne objective of this study is to investigate whether Black drivers are more likely than White motorists to receive traffic tickets and to be arrested following routine traffic stops in the Detroit suburb of Eastpointe, Michigan. Compared to White drivers, Blacks were more likely to be arrested and ticketed when police officer discretion was most pronounced. My broader objective is to explore police enforcement of racialized space in suburban Detroit. Outcomes of routine traffic stops were analyzed to determine whether enforcement of racialized space could be detected by comparing how drivers were treated on Eastpointe streets that were more, opposed to less, White. Black motorists driving on internal streets were more likely to attract police attention than those driving along Eastpointe's border street with Detroit, Eight Mile Road, which is interpreted as evidence that Black drivers are more likely to be ticketed, searched, and arrested when they were “out of place”.

Abstract:

This critical case study analyzes Michigan’s implementation of Public Act 4 (PA4), also known as the emergency management (EM) takeover law. PA4 grants the state control of school districts with dire budgetary problems. As most U.S. school districts are citywide, PA4 gives the state direct control over all the (previously locally controlled) schools in Detroit. We use tenets from critical race theory (CRT) and components from critical policy analysis (CPA) and offer a critical race policy analysis (CRPA) to explore racial power and privilege enacted by PA4, imposed upon Detroit.

Abstract:

Abstract This presentation explores how a coalition, Senior Housing Preservation-Detroit, considered and planned for “care” in senior buildings in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit was one of the American cities affected in the early days of the pandemic; the coalition pivoted its work in creative, collaborative ways which included understanding the rapidly changing context for those living in low-income senior buildings. Older minority adults have been shown to be disproportionally affected by COVID-19; the coalition successfully advocated for testing to be brought to senior buildings (and now vaccine distribution) and addressed mask distribution and food insecurity in several senior buildings (see Archambault, Sanford and Perry, 2020). Without the long-established partnerships, “care” could not have been as coordinated, multi-sector and trusted. The presentation will discuss lessons learned that can be applied to future challenges in supporting the well-being of residents as they negotiate their residential spaces.

Abstract:

Im Jahr 2015 fiel in der postindustriellen Stadt Flint im Umkreis von Detroit auf, dass das Trinkwasser bleilösend geworden war und zahlreiche Personen nennenswerte Bleimengen aufgenommen haben mussten. Im Jahr zuvor war die Trinkwasserversorgung von einem der Großen Seen auf ein lokales Flusswasser umgestellt worden. Das korrosive Wasser bewirkte daraufhin eine massive Bleifreisetzung aus den in den USA oft verlegten Bleihausanschlussleitungen. Der Fall zog immer weitere Kreise bis hin zur nationalen Ebene. Schon etwa zehn Jahre zuvor gab es einen anderen großen Fall, bei dem in der Hauptstadt Washington D.C. Bleihausanschlussleitungen ebenfalls zu einer erheblichen Freisetzung des toxischen Metalls in das Trinkwasser führten. Diese beiden Fälle reihen sich ein in vergleichbare Vorkommnisse in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Amerika. Bei den frühen Fällen gab es durch die mangelhafte Trinkwasserqualität und die sehr starke Korrosivität des Wassers viele chronische Vergiftungsfälle mit klinisch sichtbaren Symptomen.

Abstract:

Health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities have been present in the United States and persist today. NMHCs (Nurse-Managed Health Center), which can serve as “Medical Homes,” are one mechanism by which nurses can attempt to overcome these disparities within communities. In the mid-1960s, Nancy Milio developed and found funding for a NMHC to address disparities in Detroit, Michigan. History shows that the center was so valued by community members that it remained untouched during the Detroit riot of 1967, despite all buildings surrounding it having been burned down or destroyed. This article uses traditional historic methods to describe the establishment of the center in inner-city Detroit in the 1960s in historical context and analyze factors that led to Milio’s success. To address disparities via NMHCs, nurses must be persistent in acquiring funding and should involve a racially and culturally diverse group representative of community members in the development, planning, and ongoing operation of the enterprise.

Abstract:

Abstract Michigan’s Public Act 436, commonly referred to as the Emergency Manager Law, has provided for state installed emergency managers to oversee financially distressed municipalities as well as school districts. Given that a number of Michigan school districts, suburban, rural, and urban, have been operating at a deficit for several years and yet only the financial status of majority Black school districts (Detroit, Highland Park, Muskegon Heights) have triggered this takeover law, this field experiment investigated the effect of school district’s racial composition on both the level of support for state-installed emergency managers in districts and the level of support for politically material resistance to the application of that remedy. Implications regarding policy and critical policy research are forwarded in light of the results.

Abstract:

Introduction: Detroit, Michigan, is among the leading United States cities for per-capita homicide and violent crime. Hospital- and community-based intervention programs could decrease the rate of violent-crime related injury but require a detailed understanding of the locations of violence in the community to be most effective. Methods: We performed a retrospective geospatial analysis of all violent crimes reported within the city of Detroit from 2009-2015 comparing locations of crimes to locations of major hospitals. We calculated distances between violent crimes and trauma centers, and applied summary spatial statistics. Results: Approximately 1.1 million crimes occurred in Detroit during the study period, including approximately 200,000 violent crimes. The distance between the majority of violent crimes and hospitals was less than five kilometers (3.1 miles). Among violent crimes, the closest hospital was an outlying Level II trauma center 60% of the time. Conclusion: Violent crimes in Detroit occur throughout the city, often closest to a Level II trauma center. Understanding geospatial components of violence relative to trauma center resources is important for effective implementation of hospital- and community-based interventions and targeted allocation of resources.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTCarbapenem-resistantKlebsiella pneumoniaehas spread worldwide and throughout the United States. Colistin is used extensively to treat infections with this organism. We describe a cluster of colistin-resistant, carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniaeinfection cases involving three institutions in Detroit, MI. A cluster of five cases of colistin-resistant, carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniaewas identified at Detroit Medical Center (DMC) from 27 July to 22 August 2009. Epidemiologic data were collected, and transmission opportunities were analyzed. Isolates were genotyped by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR. Data regarding the use of colistin were obtained from pharmacy records. The index case of colistin-resistant, carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniaewas followed 20 days later by four additional cases occurring in a 6-day interval. All of the patients, at some point, had stayed at one particular institution. The mean number of opportunities for transmission between patients was 2.3 ± 0.5, and each patient had at least one opportunity for transmission with one of the other patients. Compared to 60 colistin-susceptible, carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniaecontrols isolated in the previous year at DMC, case patients were significantly older (P= 0.05) and the carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniaeorganisms isolated from them displayed much higher MICs to imipenem (P< 0.001). Colistin use was not enhanced in the months preceding the outbreak. Genotyping revealed two closely related clones. This report of a colistin-resistant, carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniaeoutbreak is strongly linked to patient-to-patient transmission. Controlling the spread and novel emergence of bacteria with this phenotype is of paramount importance.

Abstract:

The objective of the study was to determine the actual truck loads on selected bridges in the Detroit, Michigan, area. Seven representative bridges were selected. The measurements were taken by using a weigh-in-motion system. For each measured truck, the record included vehicle speed, axle spacing, and axle loads. The variation in the accuracy of the gross vehicle weight (GVW) measurement was estimated to be ±5 percent and that of the axle weights was estimated to be ±20 percent for most types of trucks. Selected bridges were instrumented, and measurements were taken for 2 or 3 consecutive days. There was a considerable variation in traffic volumes and the weights of trucks, even within a given geographic area. The estimated average daily truck traffic varied from 500 to 1,500 in one direction. The maximum observed truck weights varied from 360 kN (81 kip) to 1100 kN (250 kip). The maximum observed axle weights varied from 90 kN (20 kip) to 225 kN (50 kip). The percentage of trucks exceeding the legal limits in Michigan varied depending on the road. The heaviest GVWs and axle weights were observed on Interstate highways. The largest percentage of overloaded trucks was observed for 11-axle vehicles. The maximum lane moments and shears from the trucks varied between 0.6 and 2.0 times AASHTO load and resistance factor design values. It was found that there are similarities in GVW and lane moment distributions.

Abstract:

Abstract It is well established that gardening can promote physical, social, and emotional wellbeing for many older adults in varied circumstances (Milligan, Gatrell, and Bingley 2004; Nicklett, Anderson, and Yen 2016; Wang and MacMillan 2013). In post-industrial cities formed by historical and ongoing processes of structural inequality such as Detroit, Michigan, gardening is beneficial for residents in terms of health, economic activity, community-building, and city beautification (Lawson 2005; Pitt 2014; Pothukuchi 2015; White 2011). However, research has less frequently investigated how gardening can promote wellbeing for older adults living in contexts of urban structural inequality. This poster addresses this gap by exploring how older African American gardeners in Detroit adapt their gardening practices to changing physical abilities and capacities. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted during one gardening season (March-October 2017) with older African Americans in Detroit (n= 27), we employ a selective-optimization-with-compensation framework (Baltes and Baltes 1990) to understand the modifications that older Detroiters make in their gardening practices as they age. Findings demonstrate that older African Americans in Detroit engage in gardening in flexible, creative ways that accommodate new physical limitations, while also connecting to changes occurring in the city of Detroit. This study thus has implications for further understanding how gardening can benefit older adults, and how older adults can contribute vitality to contexts of structural inequality.
