Detroit’s creative class works towards city’s recovery
After a recent “Dateline: NBC” documentary angered Detroit residents with what they called an overly negative portrayal of the city, we thought to talk with residents well-versed in creating positive imagery: Detroit’s creative class.
We speak with Toby Barlow, author of “Sharp Teeth” and Chief Creative Officer for marketing group Team Detroit. He helps us look at the city from the eyes of some of those people most committed to its economic and cultural recovery, who are proving instrumental to its urban revitalization efforts.
