Detroit was once the fourth-largest city in the nation. Workers from across the country flocked to the factories that put America on wheels and powered World War II’s Arsenal of Democracy. Now, the days of Motor City and Motown have passed. One-half million people have left the city. But a new Detroit is rising. Entrepreneurs, young people, and immigrants are joining hands with Detroiters in a new kind of promise. A new, inviting riverfront, reinvigorated neighborhoods, and historic renovation are the first steps toward a high-tech future in the new economy. Detroit is poised to once again take its place on the world stage.
