In fact, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, there was an economic recession in Detroit, with more and more black residents, many merchants and owners moving out and a large number of houses being abandoned. From 65438 to 0967, the most destructive racial riots occurred in the United States, that is, the black riots in Detroit. Recently, there was a movie "Detroit" about this incident. Moreover, the drug crime rate has also increased, because they often use abandoned houses as drug bases, so the government razed those houses to the ground.
Since 1980s, Detroit's position as an automobile center has been shaken. Because of racial conflicts and high taxes, the population began to flow out and the automobile industry in other countries gradually developed, so Detroit had no competitive advantage. In 20 13, Detroit declared bankruptcy, and one year later, it was declared out of bankruptcy. The economy began to pick up slowly again. Now, Detroit is elected mayor. Regrettably, half of the people who participated in the election were those who had been sentenced to heavy sentences. In 20 17, an American website rated Detroit as the worst city.
The Detroit government should re-plan economic construction and urban planning, and make changes now, otherwise the ghost town will follow Detroit for a long time. In fact, not only Detroit, but also many cities are facing this problem, such as brain drain and lack of new economic growth points. Therefore, city leaders should make future plans for the city according to specific conditions.
