Urbaynes Proposed Projects
Transforming Detroit’s vacant lots into thriving agricultural and community hubs through design, technology, and shared purpose.
Community Farm Network
A distributed network of micro-farms built in partnership with Detroit block clubs, providing local jobs and sustainable food sources while revitalizing neighborhoods.
Container Hub Pilot
A modular prototype hub using repurposed shipping containers, serving as a command center for distribution, training, and innovation on Detroit’s west side.
Neighborhood Foodway Corridor
Connecting urban farm nodes through the Avenue of Fashion, linking growers, cafes, and delivery routes into one sustainable food ecosystem.
Urbaynes Mobile Market
A roving retail concept bringing Detroit-grown produce and ready-to-eat options to neighborhoods lacking grocery access—powered by clean energy delivery fleets.
“Every vacant lot is a future opportunity.”
Urbaynes envisions Detroit’s post-industrial landscape as a living system of micro-farms, community anchors, and innovation labs that redefine access to food and green space.
Vision Plan: An interconnected grid of farms, container hubs, and educational centers reshaping Detroit’s food economy from the ground up.
Community Engagement Studio
An on-site pavilion for workshops, workforce training, and community meal programs—where design meets daily life.
