Built Environment
Mission Areas
The physical spaces we occupy — our housing, workplaces, public spaces, parks, main streets, community facilities, and more — have a profound impact on our quality of life. Everything that is built contributes to the identity and speaks to the aspirations of Detroiters. The Hudson-Webber Foundation invests in exceptional buildings, housing, parks, and streetscapes, and encourages and supports practices that promote inclusivity and sustainability, and that reflect the authentic identity of Detroit.
