底特律中城的科技园是一个创新城区，充满了发展潜力。这个非营利结构为密歇根东南部的企业与创业公司提供项目与合作机会。这个区域自身十分独特，它的标志建筑在曾经辉煌的汽车工业时期具有重要意义，而在今天又有巨大的再利用潜力。
今年，底特律中城公司举办景观设计竞赛为此区域征集景观总体规划，强调现有优势并为协作与发展创造新的机会。景观规划设计师设计所建议的功能元素，其目的是为了创造活力社区，促进合作，产生激情，鼓励实验、区域支持以及提高与其他机构的连接。
在科技园总体规划的形成过程中，景观规划设计师会为区域制定有启发性的框架，创造吸引人的特征，建立城市设计导则，并为科技园确定建筑启动项目。
景观设计的目标是促进创新思维碰撞——将人们聚在一起激发创新思想。创新点子常常在偶然的会面中产生，所以创新集群需要提供人们不经意碰面与观察的地方。景观设计上，这可以通过相对简单但有效的策略实现：酒吧、咖啡厅、共享办公室以及设计精良可提供多种功能组织多种活动的公共空间。 例如，在科技园，中心创新广场在夏天可以承办各种市场、流动餐饮车，冬天可以滑冰或升起篝火。临时协作立方体、集思广益树林以及上佳实验室可以为人们提供各种尺度的空间进行聚会以及合作。
景观设计的另一方面是赋予科技园独一无二的价值，使其在短期内呈现出独特的空间特征，并提供随着区域演进长期的空间调整潜力。景观规划设计师建议用明快的颜色与之前提到的现代建筑作为低成本高可视性的方法，传达关于科技园未来的有力信息。
景观规划设计师提出的另一项概念为"数字镜面"——监视多种资源（能源、水、食物等）利用情况的互动系统并通知居民以及集群管理人。它使区域有能力在城市尺度上进行更有效的监控管理，并影响每个人改变行为以实现资源与消费的最佳利用。数字镜面也可以展示科技园创新社区取得的成就，例如专利、创新与新技术。
景观设计师这项努力得到了区域重要机构的大力支持，包括韦恩州立大学、亨利•福特健康系统、下一步能源以及创意研究学院。
Engagement Strategies: A variety of creative strategies were employed to encourage stakeholder participation in the development of the plan， including interactive games， online surveys， prioritization exercises， blog streaming， and public open forums. A core committee of institutional leaders were consulted at each milestone.
Framework Principles: The plan is driven by several planning and design principles that address site challenges and support aspirational goals for the district.
Public Realm Framework: The vision for TechTown is structured around a public realm framework that defines key corridors and connects anchor institutions. Each corridor is characterized by a different public realm and land use strategy.
Techtown Vision: The long term vision positions TechTown as the hub of innovation in Detroit. A renewed public realm ties together ideas-based industries within a vibrant urban neighborhood.
Core Plaza Elements: The core plaza catalyzes new investment in TechTown. Engaging civic spaces and a carefully curated public realm program encourage participation， creation， and collaboration.

核心广场旨在鼓励区域中心的合作和创业活动。
Collaboration Cubes: Mobile and adaptable collaboration cubes， specifically designed for TechTown， support a range of active uses from spontaneous brainstorming sessions to planned social activities.
Fabrication tables extend from the adjacent fab-lab to facilitate the visible testing and development of new products. Shade structures and complementary landscaping create a comfortable environment for collaboration.
The Brainstorming Grove and Think Tank provide an informal destination for meeting and socializing， with access to the nearby Short Circuit Cafe and food trucks.
Plaza through the seasons: The plaza is designed for flexibility and to support year-round activity， from curling and campfires in the winter， to movie screenings and robot competitions in the spring and summer， to makers fairs and beer gardens in the fall.
Realizing the Vision: The vision for TechTown will be realized over time. A launch party catalyzes the development of the core plaza， followed by incremental investment that reinforces the heart of the district.
District Transformation: A district currently defined by surface parking lots and lack of identity will be transformed into a dense， well-balanced urban setting， with a clearly defined sense of place.
Sustainability and Livability: The district strategy leverages existing sustainability investments， and supports a broad definition of sustainability. Social， economic， and environmental sustainability are foundational elements of the plan.
