Description :
The city of Detroit, situated in the heartland of Michigan, also known as Motor City, has become a symbol of urban decay in the USA. From here the worldwide and triumphal procession of the car started, but it was also this town which suffered most from the ambiguity of the 20th century automotive paradigm. The rapid rise was followed by an even more rapid fall. - (IfL)
