    The Last Days of Detroit Motor Cars, Motown and the Collapse of an Industrial Giant

    Bodley Head

    Mark Binelli returned to live in his native Detroit after a break of many years. He tells the story of the boom and the bust – and of the new society to be found emerging from the debris: Detroit with its urban farms and vibrant arts scene; Detroit as a laboratory for the post-industrial, post-recession world. Here's what an iconic rust-belt city now looks like and how it might transform and regenerate itself in the twenty-first century.
