Now occupied by decrepit commercial buildings, the area by 1980 will contain a soaring hotel, four office towers, apartment buildings and retail stores. To design the project, Ford has hired Architect John Portman, a vehement believer in the vitality of cities with proven experience in planning Atlanta's Peachtree Center and San Francisco's Embarcadero Center. Said Ford: "We all know what Chicago has done with its lakefront area. I think we in Detroit should be able to do at least as well along...
