People & Places: Building climate resilient neighborhoods on Detroit's Eastside

For the nearly 40-year-old Eastside Community Network (ECN), confronting the challenges of climate change - especially flooding - has become a major focus.
To that end, an official network of hubs with solar powered backup and high technology is beginning to launch, starting with the Stoudamire Center, the Brilliant Detroit Chandler Park House, and a new Lenox Community Center, which the city of Detroit is building as part of a redevelopment of the 34-acre A.B. Ford Park on the Detroit riverfront.
