Abstract
The events immediately following the 1967 Detroit race riot set in motion organizational changes within the city government that radically altered the status of planning in the city. In this paper, I document the impact of those changes on the Detroit City Plan Commission. Many of the changes developed because of the new postriot environment. Historical evidence focuses on the archives of the commission, and emphasizes the period from 1967 until Detroit implemented a new city charter in 1974.Keywords
