Over the years, Cityscape has taken a public position, testified, and entered a letter for the public record on many development and preservation cases in Detroit. Here is a small sample of some recent advocacy letters (they were printed on Cityscape letterhead). Mixed in are a couple of copies of Cityscape e-news, an e-mail that gets sent to members about various planning and preservation events and news:
