I was raised in Chicago and I guess that was one of the special breeding grounds for gangsters of all colors. That was the Detroit of the gangster world. The car industry was thugs. ↗

On the eleventh of June, 1805, a torrid fire engulfed a small town in the Michigan Territory. An unflappable local priest, Father Gabriel Richard, assessed the devastation by proclaiming “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus.” The Latin phrase, having the equivalent of “We hope for better things; it shall rise from the ashes” in English, would become the battered municipality’s motto. Two centuries on, the credo applies more than it ever has, for that town was none other than Detroit and it has become ashes once more. ↗

Detroit is a city that really stands out. It's been through a very difficult time. There's been a lot of pain here, and the city, physically, has suffered. You can see it in certain neighborhoods, and there's buildings downtown that have been abandoned. ↗

Planning is for the world's great cities, for Paris, London, and Rome, for cities dedicated, at some level, to culture. Detroit, on the other hand, was an American city and therefore dedicated to money, and so design had given way to expediency. ↗
