Several towns and cities across the United States of America and Canada are rebuilding themselves as college towns while rebrandishing their reputation as cities. This method of urban revival is spite of urban blight has been a prevalent practise recently at the start of the 21st century.
Windsor, Ontario, in Canada has been working hard to rebrandish its reputation as a city as Windsor is known as the Detroit of Canada. Windsor suffered the nearly the same fate as Detroit did with automobile industry but still has more manufacturing jobs that the city of Detroit. Right now the city of Windsor is going through a tough time in urban blight as Detroit is currently. There's not a whole lot left but despite all the political downfalls, Windsor is managing to rebrand the city as a college town. Local politicians and citizens are working to bring Windsor back as a thriving city.
In fact, the city of Flint is rebuilding itself. Local politicians and citizens are working to bring Flint back as a thriving city it once was when GM was a huge factor in the town before GM outsourced their headquarters to Mexico in 1987.
In other words, Flint as a city is rebuilding itself as a college town with educational establishments in the city such as Kettering University, Mott College, Dort College, and University of Michigan - Flint. College campuses are recruiting more students in order to rebuild the city. So that means professors are being hired at the moment. Kettering University has been getting a lot positive news coverage in the press nationwide. The college educational system in Flint is currently being rebuilt as I stated in my previous reviews before.
Not only is Flint rebuilding itself as a college town but they are refurbishing and rebuilding the Downtown area of Flint ever since the year of 2008. The downtown area is looking nice now as there a lot of business transactions occurring in the downtown area of Flint. There are festivals filled with entertainment and music being held in Downtown Flint. Another bright side is that basketball is BIG in Flint, Michigan! There is a demand for the sport of basketball.
Detroit, Michigan is slowly but surely rebuilding itself as a college town with a bunch of college campuses. Detroit is a city similar to Flint. The city of Detroit has already faced a decline in the automobile industry not too long ago.
The Detroit metropolitan area did suffer the same fate as with automobile industry as Pontiac and Saginaw have been through. Detroit is not really known as a college town as Flint is.
Cleveland is similar to Detroit, Flint, Windsor, and Hamilton in terms of rebuilding the city as a college town. Cleveland, Ohio is currently rebuilding itself as a college town. Local politicians and citizens are working to bring students and professors to the city.
In other words, Cleveland as a city is rebuilding itself as a college town with educational establishments in the city limits within zoning areas. College campuses and local universities are recruiting more students in order to rebuild the city. Not only is Cleveland rebuilding itself as a college town but they are refurbishing and rebuilding the Downtown area ever since the year of 2008 and 2011 of course. The downtown area is looking nice now.
The downtown area is looking nice now. In fact, Cleveland is becoming an ideal place to move to. People are starting to move to Cleveland! So things starting to change and turn around for the city of Cleveland. Around 2014 is when Cleveland started cleaning up their environment.
