SCOPE AND CONTENT
This collection consists of reports, studies, plans, grant
applications, and proposals either compiled by and for the Department of
Community Development or its predecessors, or compiled by other agencies. The
bulk of the collection should not be considered records of the Department, as
it does not contain documentation of its routine activity, but rather as a
collection of some of its final reports and of reference material used in
planning.
The collection includes parts of the 1959-60 master plan for the city. Most of the integrated master plan from
1969 to 1979 is included. The components of the latter describe plans and
proposals for particular neighborhoods and projects. The only single project
for which comprehensive documentation exists is the Doyle School neighborhood
renewal project (1971-1979). This project included the construction of a
high-rise apartment building as well as the reconstruction of the school and
surrounding area. Riverfront development is particularly well documented in
the collection, although the Autoworld development happened
after the time period covered by this collection.
Other material in this collection documents a wide variety of
planning concerns. The Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission
Comprehensive Land Use-Transportation Planning Study covers land use beyond the
confines of the City of Flint. The University impact study shows how planners
thought the development of a downtown campus of the University of Michigan-Flint
would affect the city. Other material concerns health planning, schools, criminal
justice, historic preservation, transportation, and economic development.
Finally, the collection contains printouts of the 1970 census for both the City
of Flint and Genesee County, with block-level data and tables which do not
duplicate the published census reports.
