Here is Fisher Body Plant in Detroit Michigan. The very first Cadillac Limo Factory. It is a sad use of space. Certainly in a growing auto industry this would be an example of a historic landmark worthy of renovation. Obviously our "love affair" with the automobile doesn't include it's birthplace. Detroit should be a thriving booming tourist destination. This factory should be on the tour route. Instead it is another home of the homeless. Just another eye sore worthy of re inventing.
Until then though, why not turn the space into an urban garden.
We are going to have to get creative in response to Peak Oil. Instead of wasted land and wasted space we need to get green. I for one would like to see some of the concrete jungle return to farmland.
