Detroit Repurposed

Detroit Repurposed.
Here is the draft.  Long g story short, possibly due to individual greed, bureaucratic bull shit and other stuff, Detroit Michigan went from blue collar royalty to less.  It took several years so Detroit had a good run.  Lotsa people made good money.
Now here is an opportunity.  100's of thousands of Americans are homeless 10's of millions make just enough money to get by.  Not enough to get ahead.
Enter Concept E-3 a future NGO. CONCEPT E-3 is about environmental clean up and restoration. A 501 (c) 4 for the 21st century .
Here is the idea. First off we need skilled working poor Americans in construction to get a work VISA and relocation assistance to Detroit.  These individuals are given a nice place to live as a part of their work incentive.  Every building in Detroit is rehabbed to support a green roof and we take this from here and rehab every building. Rain water is captured and repurposed for general watering with drip irrigation systems. 
To make this work, Detroit needs to be a self governed district.  Like Washington D.C. .
.   here we go.  With so much population growth urban city farming is happening every where.  There are also successful eco-villages globally.  Let's turn Detroit into a very larg eco-village. Roofs and walls can support plant growth becoming Huge carbon sink. So as a city/ eco- village carbon sink repurposed development.  Some success can be obtained .  Now lets repurpose metal refineries with an idea to become a major player in metals recycling.  What actual waste is thrown away can be disposed of with level 5 incineration and plastics can be repurposed to produce and capture syn gas.  Real smart people can see where this is heading.  1,000,000's of poor American's get an opportunity to build a better quality of life for their families.
Work hard, get economically awarded and show that future metro super cities can be designed to help the environment and have a lot of locked in sustainable practices to include locally grown produce.  Take this a step further and also make Detroit a smart city. Paint some wall murals and enjoy some graffiti as thw ' urban art it is.".
