A Guardian article last week reported: “The scale of Detroit’s decline is dizzying. The city’s population has dropped from 2 million in 1950 to 700,000 today, as Detroiters have become fed up with decades of mismanagement and rising crime and poverty. Detroit’s murder rate is at a 40-year high, only a third of its ambulances are in working order, and nearly half its streetlights are broken.”
Detroit’s has become famous for it’s abandoned buildings, 78,000 in total. A great project. Detroiturbex, hopes to raise awareness of the social and economic challenges the city of Detroit faces through photography. This then and now photos highlight the city’s demise.
