Detroit has a plan to reshape the city. The master plan won't be put in stone until at least a year, but those involved are now crafting a framework.

Organizers will spend the next 12-18 months reaching out to Detroiters by asking them to weigh in on what the future of the city should look like.

Mayor Dave Bing's top priorities include land use development, economic recovery, public services, transportation and neighborhood stabilization. 

Some people feared they would be pushed out of their homes. But a representative of the NAACP says that's not true. He says everyone will have the opportunity to talk about what's needed in their communities.

The overall master plan would not be completed for about 10 years. But a series of community meetings will begin, starting next month.
