CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO: http://www.plumstreetmusic.com URBAN ECONOMIC ANATOMY Many subdivisions in Detroit were built during the "auto industry boom" of the 1920s. With a design for a sixty-year useful life (the expected length of the economic boom) these small frame homes were built economically on lesser-value land.
In contrast, islands of affluent neighborhoods developed throughout the city through the 1950s. These Silver- and Gold-Coast neighborhoods have become historic districts.
However, many more modest neighborhoods have been designated historic and are being saved from oblivion. urban economics animated PPT video that explores the development of Detroit and address issues that are fundamental to its current problems.

  • RISE & FALL what rebirth are you talking about man????

  • @a4ol Watch" Great Lakes Freight Gateway." I am posting below as a response. It's a bit long, but it may answer your questions.

  • @plumstreetmusic Thanks!

  • @a4ol You're welcome

  • Good map info but the music doesn't fit. Stick to simple narration, and leave the rock soundtrack elseware. Thank goodness for volume off buttons!

  • @ToddCWiggins Thanks. This was one of my early youtube videos for which I used the stock canned music tracks of youtube. They are a bit cheezy. And yes, thank goodness for volume off!

  • Thank you for taking the time for your kind and insightful response. I appreciate it.

    With so much sensationalism on youtube, I felt that a series of objective vieos that consider both sides of the story would provide some value (and perhaps some hope)

  • It's nice to see a video provided by a man who really knows something - not all of those amateurs who shot those damaged spots - notice that they are the same in most videos. You provided a very authentic overview of the city problems troughout decades and it's state for now.
