Introduction to our page and the city of Detroit
The history of the city of Detroit can be fascinating to study, as it does not fall into pattern with the histories of other American cities. Unlike the larger US cities that have gained and maintained economic well being, Detroit suffered a long, painful decline into the harsh reality of bankruptcy. Despite the bright period Detroit experienced when it’s automotive industry boomed in the early 20th century, there was no stopping this outcome. In order to fully understand how Detroit could suffer such a horrific fate, it is important to analyze the city’s success and failures. Our website analyzes the triumphs and turbulence that each industry, market, and facet of Detroit was forced to face throughout history. Each topic described throughout this website, has its own periods of rise, ruin, and rebirth, which further explains how it was possible for Detroit to fall from grace.
