Detroit City is the place to be : the afterlife of an American metropolis / Mark Binelli.

Binelli, Mark. (Author).

Summary:

Detroit is perhaps our country's greatest urban failure. But the city's worst crisis yet has somehow managed to turn failure into a testing ground for the future. Urban planners, land speculators, neo-pastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists, all have been drawn to Detroit's baroquely decaying, nothing-left-to-lose frontier. Here, the author explores this ongoing experiment in urban renewal.
