What reading level is Improvement of the City of Detroit Reports book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if you have faith in Detroit, even the faith in it that is had by the outside world, you will not be afraid of some expense. In nothing that we do, are we building so surely for the future as in the development of our cities. If, now, in any proposed change that is within the bounds of financial reason an immediate and certain advantage is added to the future good, that change should thereby become practicable. The faint- hearted will be reassured and you will have ready an answer for the s...elfish who derisively ask what posterity ever has done for them forgetful of their own inheri- 45 tance from the past. So your committee understands, I am sure, that "practicable" means more than so simple as to be done today and tomorrow or so cheap as to be paid for out of current expenses. It means that a faith and courage, justified by past and present, is the wise basis of the planning.
In looking over a city to determine what may be done to make it grasp its civic opportunities, I think we have to remember that not remodeling, but development, is to be desired.
