- Synopsis
- Detroit City Is the Place to Be is one of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Best Books of 2012. Once America's capitalist dream town, Detroit is our country's greatest urban failure, having fallen the longest and the farthest--and, finally, into the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. Binelli does not shy away from exploring the violence, economic devastation, political corruption, and physical ruin that have ravaged his hometown, but he also offers a glimpse of a long-shot future: Detroit that is smaller, less segregated, greener, economically diverse, and better functioning--what could be the boldest reimagining of a postindustrial city in our new century.
