From 1959-1963, Chicago developers imported modern masters of architecture and planning to design a new community for Detroit. Planner Ludwig Hiberseimer distributed high and low rise housing across superblocks created by closing streets. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the Lafayette Towers and nearly two hundred units of townhouses arranged around cul-de-sacs.

We will be visiting three private residences, and resident tour guide Neil McEachern will describe the background of this historic district.
