My graduate thesis (Urban Planning) recommended tearing it down and this was well over 30 years ago. Most great cities revere their waterfront or riverfront. Detroit erected a monstrosity. MP

The Renaissance Center brings back lots of memories. I worked at Ford in Dearborn & Windsor as a graduate engineer back in the late 70s. As a Canadian, I crossed the border every day. Later on, I was permanently assigned to Windsor, but still traveled to Detroit a couple of times each week. Ford's purchasing group had offices in the Renaissance Center back then. Spent many hours in meetings in those buildings. I moved away after 6 years and now only visit the area occasionally.
