Addresses the questions of what went wrong with Detroit and what can be done to reinvent the Motor City. Various answers to the former - deindustrialization, white flight, and a disappearing tax base - are well understood. Less discussed are potential paths forward, stemming from alternative explanations of Detroit's long-term decline and reconsideration of the challenges the city currently faces.
