URBAN CLIMATE chapter 1
Nestled within the Great Lakes, Detroit, Michigan was once the ideal vision of
urban ingenuity and American pride. It boasted the forth largest population
amongst the States, and defined industry. Its was given such nicknames as the
"Motor City," stemming from it dominance in automotive production, and the
"Arsenal of Democracy," which grew from its ability to forge nearly all military ve-
hicles during World War II. The city thrived on a nation's desire, but was left cold
when those same desires shifted.
Pillaged of physical and intellectual resources, Detroit's population steadily drops
as poverty rises. The city deflates from inside-out, creating a clear distinction
between an affluent exterior of "haves" and a disoriented interior of "have nots."
