- Did you know that when Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013, it was the largest city bankruptcy filing by debt ever, estimated at a massive $18 to $20 billion? Or that in the 1950s Detroit was the richest city in the U.S and maybe even the world according to some people?
Based on this, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that Detroit has faced a lot of challenges over the years, from the collapse of its automotive industry during the 2008 financial crisis to the city’s own bankruptcy filings in 2013. However, despite these negative events, Detroit wasn’t always a place of hardships and in fact, during its early years, Detroit was one of America’s most promising cities. What might be even more surprising is that recent events even suggest that things might be looking up for the city today.
But what’s the cause of all of the ups and downs Detroit has faced over the years? Well, today on Across the Globe we’re going to be looking at How Detroit Went From Good to Bad to Good Again.

Detroit's embrace of urbanism is also contributing massively to its revival. They're tearing down one of their downtown highways and turning the land back into the mixed-use residential area that it once was. This is a trend that will more than likely continue as Detroit sees the benefits of what they destroyed back in the 50's.
That’s the way!
I’m optimistic about Detroit. I live around Pontiac and you can definitely feel the positivity spreading though out the area. We’ll be back. Might take some time but this is a great region that is not dying
Michigan in the summer is a wonderful place to live.
Even to automobile works back in motion, rebuilding delving enighbourhoods, even mass green projects planned sicne 2010, highway and tunnel projects , monorail expansion and more and maybe YOUR ideas added too
Even best city in Michigan!!! And also loved its pine grove records akak record label I’ve listened to since middle school
I’m from Southern France, and I’ve stayed in Detroit for a few weeks while I was travelling the US. It became my favorite city in the country, I only met welcoming and kind people who treated me like one of their own. The city does have a strange atmosphere, like it’s been stuck in time, but I was really inspired by some stories that I heard, and I always give credit to the locals when mentioning how good the city is becoming now, because from what I seen they always had each other’s back with no outside help and got their salvation out of sheer solidarity and effort. Much love for Michigan from Corsica.
@@vincenta1382 sent a few weeks theer back when i was a teen in 2008 and visted agin once 2011 and met a famosu rapper artist form piengrove records and soem music still online to this day whom wrote classics like lets go jesus, i love minoraties, budder, bugatti, etc
Coming back strong now. Cranes everywhere! Absolutely beautiful now. Much better than NY, LA, etc
I am frequently in Windsor, Ontario and I definitely agree.
I've lived in Detroit my entire 50 years of life. I've seen the ups, the downs and the bankruptcy. I can say with the utmost certainty, that Detroit is coming back economically. The city can now sign checks and all that in black ink, instead of red ink.
How poetic
Stop your lies. Its trillions in a hole.
@@UnstopablePatriot I used to work for the state. I know how bad Detroit was. They were never trillions in the hole. At the worst, it was a few hundred million.
Good things has improved. Also the spiritual environment should be good to keep satan and his demons at bay.
Yeah and tax payers only send 1.8 trillion in bailouts for the auto industry. But keep going with your bs!
I am one of those artists who is trying to do my small part. I am rehabbing a house on the East side which is still pretty rough. But it has to start this way. There are families on the block that have been there for decades, and I hope they know we are trying to respect them, not gentrify to push them out. Their property values will increase. And Duggan has done amazing things. The blight clearing alone has done so much. There is land now to garden.
Good grief.
I'm glad you're not my neighbor.
Wow, @@salemdesigns65, Jose isn’t even yt, and you’re hating on them. You’re definitely a Democrat.
At 14:52, for those not familiar with Detroit & its environs, what you're looking at is Windsor,Ontario, Canada - our good neighbor across the [Detroit] river.
Thank you for highlighting the downfall and revival of our great city. While there are still many challenges, it is nice to see it being shown in a positive light, helping to change its reputation as a dangerous, abandoned city to a city experiencing a comeback. I believe it will become the great city that it was once again.
Juneteenth lol
The blacks destroyed it and they are the ones that will always keep it down.
You're smoking crack if you think it will ever be as great as it once was.
@@silentmajority8365Joomteemf is the correct spelling and pronunciation, just fyi.
Man - all those people walking on the sidewalks of Detroit in those old video clips. It reminds me of one of my high school friends' mother : she told us back then that in the 1940's - when she was a young girl - Detroit was like New York City ( I also heard that said by another lady concerning Mount Clemens, the capital of Macomb County, north of Detroit, which is in Wayne County ). That's exactly what I got to thinking : how I would be hard-pressed to identify either Detroit or NYC in those clips, absent any landmarks that have survived down to the present day.
Once the auto capital of the world now a third world country
Demographics change everything
There’s plenty of landmarks that still exist today, just go down and see for yourself.
I went to the place in 2018; it was quite a modern, clean, popular, and facilitated urban view. People enjoyed daily life by walking around the riverside near the GM building, racing on boats on the water, or casino life at nightfall. Some people may ask: The city's crime rate is still high. This may sound reasonable that as reports in the papers have shown, yes, there is still something that is contributing to the people's concern, such as early closure of business hours at the local stores(usually around 4-5pm on business days); and frequent police patrols from daylight to nightfall, focusing on highly populated areas like black communities; casinos and a few sections of downtown. If you'd like to visit the city with your own eyes, you'd better choose daylight to come out and stay in areas that are heavily crowded and come back to the hotel or motel no later than 10pm(because after this time you can hear horns of police cars all around downtown).
Worth watching… beside all the empty house all around while driving . These days lots of gap is filling up.
Who would invest in a crime filled swamp?
@@silentmajority8365 Have you ever been? People who only get information from the mainstream media and YT videos do themselves a disservice.
Go and meet people where they stand and live, then come back and give nuance opinion.
That's in every major city
@@frankbj1152 yeah but what's the point comparing Detroit to a typical major city. What's interesting is how it was bankrupt a decade ago and is climbing out of the pit. Obviously it's no new york (yet)
May Detroit continue to rise! 🎶Youre the God of this city, You are! Bless this land, Lord as its people turn to You!
MLK ultra
@@silentmajority8365 Funny how when for the first time in decades a black isn't mayor that the city starts improving right away
@@erkuza9220 Imagine them all relocated out of America
@erkuza9220 Imagine the country without them
It gets REAL @ 5:35 mark 🎯💯🫴🏼🇵🇷 Great Documentary 👍🏼🥇✨ Thank you with GRATITUDE.
Shocking to see the state of Detroit
Good to bad to good again. Probably not. Good to bad to stabilized. Probably.
And yes, I did read the entire bankruptcy filing in 2014. Thousands of pages and a great document of years of neglect.
Im Happy for Detroit. Michigan needs a strong city, which hopefully Detroit can become. But if 1940-50 Detroit was good than it has a very long way to go currently.
Born and raised. You won’t find more resilient people anywhere. Indomitable spirits. You’ll never keep Detroit down, and anyone from there knows it. BTW, BEST art museum in the country.
Detroit is improving from decades of decay, but it's got so much work that needs to be done to be "good" again, at least if you comparing how the city was in its peak. So much of the city still has empty land, & abandon buildings to fill in. The population is only 600,000, it's peak was 1.8 million, it's got a long way to go to fill all that population back in. Other then buses does Detroit even have public transit? Barely. I hope Detroit does continue to grow and improve but it will take decades I think.
Why do you need to fill it in and grow? Just transform it from big city to a medium size city and be happy with it. You don’t need millions of people to be in it to be a good place. Get rid of those abandoned houses, unused utility grid, streets, let the nature come back and live among it. Cities around the world are fighting so bad to have free space, but there is none left! This is such an opportunity to build a green city and everyone is just not getting it.
@@yaroslavkobezskyi that is a option, but Detroit still then has a lot of work to do then. If they were to turn the land into park space, new forests, new trails & bike paths that could be great...but how much of it currently is abandon empty lots with just over grown weeds exc.
@@jameschampken2660 I mean, if you plant specific trees there you don’t need to cut grass anymore. How often do we cut grass in the forest? And then removing pavement and rocks underneath you can reuse that elsewhere. The abandoned electric grid still needs maintenance as well as plumbing and cable, getting rid of it will save money in a long term.
@yaroslavkobezskyi it doesn't need to "grow" but it definitely does need to fill in. Even tho the city proper only has 600k, the metro has over 4 million. It should attract people from the suburbs to the city. And theres empty buildings that need new owners, as well as green space. Then it needs to improve public transit and walking/cycling infrastructure
Yes it has Detroit always has it good and bad but always find a way to stay strong and I am glad to be born and raised in Detroit
A true pleasure explore more and more about the city through your eyes. Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷 ❤
Just as they extended city limits and annexed land, now they need to pull back the city limits.
Shout out tech town and Forbes under 30 for hosting me. I love my city ❤️ 313
I love my city! Born & Raised.
Downtown is doing good. Saw this a few times. Will outside of the downtown rise? Hopfuly.
Take him to Detroit!
Japan and Germany didn't pay less than US labor. German autoworkers were paid more and were FAR more unionized, and the difference between the Japanese workers and the highest paid German workers was about $1/hr. Just the currency exchange vastly favored Japan for a long time.
Hey that iron works company was where my house is today 😂😂
Is that smog in the vintage photos and video?
Thanks So Much
Love to see America's Comeback City!
Hopefully in the future Detroit will be like Detroit Become Human
Not sure we should go that far
oh God Let’s hope not! 😆
2038 its possible lol

5he import8ng 9f Japanese cars caused the closing of many automobile plants and auto executives refusal to mak I e fuel efficiant and smaller cars.
The automtive industry was the lifeblood of Detroit !!!!.
Concentration in car manufacturing, white and business flight,redlining, gang and criminal activity were contributing factors in the decline. Gentrification and crime reform are drivers for the revival. Memphis experienced this on a smaller level. However Memphis leaders must consult with Detroit on how they were able to reduce crime.
pretty simple. COMMUNITY driven work. The mayor funded multiple community groups to help reduce crime and the participating neighborhoods and the results are great.
@@brasp we are not at that stage yet. We are still debating about no bail and longer sentences.
please show me where no bail works, I’ll wait. No bail policies would literally destroy the city and state for that matter. No bail is a joke.
@@user-yg1jd6dt1bI never said I was in favor of no bail. I said it is being debated, so don’t wait too long.

Not quite there yet buddy
So are we going to completely ignore Kwame Kilpatrick and other corrupt politicians leading to the downfall of Detroit? And then you completely glossed over the fact that Bedrock/Quicken/Dan Gilbert is a huge contributor to how Detroit got itself moving again
Bingo! You can always tell when a narrative or writers are not from the Detroit area of southeastern Michigan. The problems with Detroit were not just deindustrialization but crime and corruption as well. Crime is still high for the city and could certain be a drag on its revival.
Detroi
Detroit isn’t good again. Downtown is much better than it was 30 years ago, but crime is still high and schools are still shit
You really didn't try very hard with this did you ?
Ford bought the Central station 5 years ago and is just finishing up (to be opened in June) a $1 Billion dollar rebuild which
is a major reason why Corktown is going nuts right now.
The owner of Rocket Mtg & The owner of Little Caesars have spent Billions downtown and this should hammer home how little
work you did -
Not 1 pic of the Detroit Lions stadium - Built by the Ford family BEFORE the Little Caesars stadium was even considered and, yet, spitting
distance from the Tigers stadium.
Just lazy......
The neighborhoods are still 💩 sit in the car for 7 hours straight for work and you will see.
there is a lot of misinformation in this
Detroit isn't human yet.
For all the people watching Detroit only looks pretty right now because of Dan Gilbert and nobody or nothing else make no mistake about it.
@Detroit_Playa:
💯
Detroit is mow a top emerging start up evo system! Cool 😎 go Detroit!!! The comeback kid!.
Detroit change in demographics is also a big reason
The growth is pushing them further away from the city center. They are slowly starting to spill into the suburbs bordering detroit, and slowly destroying those communities, just like they did to detroit. It's like a slow moving virus, slowly destroying 1 suburb at a time.
Its the only reason. Metro Detroit is wealthy, thats where white people went and took their business with them.
are you a bot? I see you commenting on every youtube video
On a sidenote, you can tell this was AI generated content. Come on several and you only give one point lol
So much this talk about racism in Detroit is ridiculous, racism went both ways and still does. Can’t complain about “white flight” in one hand then talk about “gentrification” in the other.
Meanwhile, Flint still has undrinkable water.
Your only showing by casinos and stadiums, what about the rest of the city, what u show is like 1% of the city...
so essentially, detroit collapsed because the usual suspects moved into town lol color me shocked.
nice to see a video actually point out the real reasons of detroits decline lmao.
What revival????
While they mention race riots etc. that lead to the downfall. They forgot to mention that immigrants coming into detroit in the 90s from middle east and mexico and other places had a huge impact on Detroit's revival, buying and fixing houses and neighborhoods that were dilapidated, starting businesses, protecting their neighborhoods.
ask any business owner what the regulatory environment is like in Detroit.. Detroit does not want Mom and pop businesses here in the city.
We are not out of the woods yet.
13:35 are you kidding me? The District Detroit has been a total bust. All that was actually built was the hockey arena and a bunch of surface parking lots. Areas directly across from the arena that were supposed to be new housing or hotel have remained fenced off gravel lots with nothing done.
HBO Real Sports did a segment in 2019 on this and there has been numerous news articles about all the broken promises.
How did your team not even do the slightest bit of research to check if any press releases from when the arena proposal was announced actually were built?
they are building aparments and affordable housing just look at the website
Huh? Not what I see
@samanthamorris2744 and how many of them have been built? How many have started construction?
Shiny renderings mean nothing. The Illitch family has released many of those since the 90s only for absolutely nothing to become of them.
Plus the video stated the district brought all kinds of housing and retail as if it had already been built. That is verifiably false no matter what, even if these latest proposals do get built in the future.
What’s up with Dearborn…?
Getting like Detroit
Part way to good again
Have you been to Detroit?, or stay there! I live that, yes it was bad ,but it"s going back ! wrong info Bro.
@@thinkbeforyouvote I live here, in detroit off 8mlie and ryan
Ok Detroit, we see which yall look like in few years....

So, how has Detroit gone from bad to good again? Just superficial info's. No depth analysis of anything.
White Boy Rick was a good movie
How Detroit Went From Good to Bad to Worst .
Only 252 homocides in 2023! Meanwhile, in Montréal, we had 33 murders for a city of around 1.8 million!
I am happy to learn things are slowly getting better in Detroit. "Bonne chance" (good luck)! 🙂
It's all the same people doing the killing.. It doesn't take that much brain power to know who i'm talking about..
The homocide rate is a US problem especially in urban areas, not just Detroit. Does Canadians have an infatuation with guns? I think not.
That’s not a fair comparison your police forces didn’t even have guns 😂😂😂😂
Demographics is the primary difference.
Nah. /
You meant to say downtown Detroit. a small town has more stores than Detroit does we don't even have a Krogers, you know its bad when you don't have a Krogers. Walmart, Target pretty much no major or minor stores in any category don't see where they get to good again. Detroit is 85% black there is no way anyone hell any outfit is building in the city. Downtown went from good to bad to good again and it's stil not good. You figure because they put up a colored basketball court and a bland riverwalk with no retail or resturants, any attractions kayakng, no skate board park, skate rental nothing along the riverwalk it's a joke again no target etc. A vistor can't go pick up little what or what nots at a walmart or target if they staying over nght downtown where they gone go, you figure because we have casinos which the money doesn't go to the city. Good again where, what in blue blazers would visitors do in Detroit ain't shit here, too many blacks
Well woodward avenue still looks run down. No effort to fix the run down boarded up graffiti bldgs. Chrysler bldg

That's in Highland Park, not Detroit proper..
You are only looking at about 10 square miles of it. Take a look at the remaining 130 square miles and you will reach a different conclusion.

I know right 😂
Blacks in Detroit were some of the most well-off people in the U.S. until about 1960 when de-industrialization and redlining particularly in the suburbs really took off...
Racist comment
Winner blacks are in Atlanta & DC Loser blacks stayed in Detroit
it got dark
If you think that Detroit is good, it only proves that you haven't spent anytime there.
the narrator didn't say the entire city was great, just that it is improving. There's a lot more that needs to be done.
Have you?
This video is so factuality inaccurate that I had stop watching it at he 10 min mark. I'm not even from Detroit but I know history. The political corruption starting with Coleman Young is appalling.
What makes it factually inaccurate? All of the things mentioned in the video have been credibly documented for years.
Not from Detroit but teach us anyway, please. 🤦♂️
Only white people cling to the falsehood that Coleman Young was crooked. I, too, am white. I met him when he was a State Senator in 1964 until his death which was 34 years. Let me remind you that he served his country, he served his state and he served his city, all honorably! His country, less honorably segregated him. His State, also dishonorably, denied him the GI Bill entitlement due to his race, and the City he served for 24 years thought enough of him to keep him on the job longer than any other mayor. And anybody who knew Coleman knew that he was totally committed to the City and its residents. The suburbs, in its queer way, seemed to think he should put them first. He didn’t agree.
Tell us more about your red Cities and how right outside them, people of all ages live in squalor, Boris the Russian.
