Abstract	:	As of 2014, there were 78,506 blighted structures in the city of Detroit. Quantifying blight according to a set of subjective standards and mapping its presence on the landscape allowed city officials to frame the city’s high levels of vacancy and structural abandonment as a crisis requiring immediate intervention in the form of mechanical demolition and, to a lesser extent, deconstruction. In addition to city-level blight removal efforts, Metro Detroit residents have undertaken a variety of property appropriation and salvage practices. This spectrum of activities—from landscape clearance via demolition to the small-scale removal of building materials and artifacts for safekeeping and reuse—has resulted in the fragmentation and redistribution of Detroit's built environment over the course of decades.
