The Detroiting of America

What Happened to the Motor City - Why Other Cities Followed - How Detroit is Coming Back

About this book

For fifty years " Detroit" has been shorthand for all that' s wrong with urban America: crime, corruption, decay, racial tension, struggling businesses, failing schools, a declining tax base, and more. Between 2000 and 2017, its population fell 28 percent, a steeper drop than any other major American city. A third of its land now lies vacant or dotted with empty, derelict houses. The good news is there are unmistakable signs of renewal in Detroit. Given a fresh start, Detroit has slowed its rate of population decline, stabilized its finances, and set out to prove to the world that it' s once again open for business.
