Detroit has come to symbolise deindustrialization and the
challenges, and opportunities, it presents. As many cities struggle
with urban decline, racial and ethnic tensions and the consequences
of neoliberal governance and political fragmentation, Detroit's
relevance grows stronger. Why Detroit Matters bridges academic and
non-academic responses to this extreme example of a fractured and
divided, post-industrial city. Contributions from many of the
leading scholars on Detroit are joined by influential writers,
planners, artists and activists who have contributed chapters
drawing on their experiences and ideas. The book concludes with
interviews with some of the city's most important visionaries who
are engaged in inspiring practices which provide powerful lessons
for Detroit and other cities around the world. The book will be a
valuable reference for scholars, practitioners and students from
across disciplines including geography, planning, architecture,
sociology, urban studies, history, American studies, and economics.
