Detroit
Detroit (/ dtrt /, locally also / ditt /; French: Détroit, literally ‘street’) is the largest and most populous city in the US state of Michigan, the largest US city on the US-Canada border, and the Wayne county seat. Detroit Township had an estimated population of 670,031 in 2019, making it the 24th most populous city in the United States. The metropolitan area, known as Metro Detroit, is home to 4.3 million people, making it the second largest in the Midwest after the Chicago metropolitan area and the 14th largest in the United States. Considered a major cultural center, Detroit is known for its contributions to music and as a repository for art, architecture, and design.
Detroit is a major port on the Detroit River, one of the four main straits that connect the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The city of Detroit is the anchor of the second largest regional economy in the Midwest, behind Chicago and ahead of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and the thirteenth largest in the United States. Detroit is best known as the center of the American auto industry, and the “Big Three” automakers General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler are all headquartered in Metro Detroit. Since 2007, the Detroit metropolitan area has been the top export region of 310 defined metropolitan areas in the United States. Detroit Metropolitan Airport is one of the most important interchanges in the United States. Detroit and the adjacent Canadian city of Windsor are connected by a freeway tunnel, a rail tunnel, and the Ambassador Bridge, the second-busiest international crossing in North America after San Diego-Tijuana.
In 1701, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the future city of Detroit. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries it became an important industrial center in the center of the Great Lakes region. The city’s population became the fourth largest in the country in 1920, second only to New York City, Chicago, and Philadelphia, and the auto industry expanded in the early 1900s. As Detroit’s industrialization took off, the Detroit River became the busiest commercial center in the world. The strait carried more than 65 million tons of shipments each year through Detroit to locations around the world; The cargo throughput was more than three times that of New York and about four times that of London. In the 1940s, the city’s population was still the fourth largest in the country. However, as a result of industrial restructuring, the loss of automotive jobs, and rapid suburbanization, Detroit entered a state of urban decline, losing a significant population from the late 20th century to the present day. Since it reached a peak of 1.85 million in the 1950 census, Detroit’s population has declined by more than 60 percent. In 2013, Detroit became the largest city in the US to file for bankruptcy, which it successfully abandoned in December 2014, when the city government regained control of Detroit’s finances.
Detroit’s diverse culture has had local and international influence, particularly in music, with the city giving birth to the Motown and techno genres and playing an important role in the development of jazz, hip-hop, rock, and punk. Detroit’s rapid growth during its boom has resulted in a unique world preserve of architectural monuments and historic sites. Since the 2000s, conservation efforts have succeeded in saving many architectural pieces and sparking several large-scale revitalizations, including the restoration of several historic theaters and entertainment venues, skyscraper renovations, new sports stadiums, and a waterfront revitalization project. from the river.
