Detroit's Urban Decline
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the factors underlying Detroit's urban decline and the spread of urban sprawl, beginning with the decline of the non-auto industry. There were many steps Detroit area planners could have undertaken to halt the mass exodus from the city. The poor still would have been poor, but there could have been businesses providing jobs and contractors rejuvenating old buildings to their former glory, providing both jobs and affordable housing. Old laws got in the way, and developers merely looked elsewhere rather than try to work for change. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
