City Institute officially launches focusing on a deeper understanding of Detroit  and sharing lessons learned with other cities

DXF has taken 150,000 people on experiential tours of Detroit since launching, but the recent uprisings and the pandemic have highlighted, the need for a deeper understanding of Detroit, and all cities, focusing on how cities got to where they are today and how they can work towards becoming thriving and equitable places in the future.To that end, DXF will be sunsetting at the end of April and City Institute step in to take the work of experiential storytelling to the next level.
