Downtown Detroit is undergoing a major transformation thanks to a boom in construction projects. In fact, the city center is set to have one of the busiest years as it creates more jobs and recreational opportunities.

I was born and raised in Detroit too. Detroit is disgusting. There is a lot more to any city than its "showcase" Downtown. I doubt very much anyone wants to buy a house in the City, raise their kids in Detroit neighborhoods and have them attend Detroit Public Schools. There's a saying that applies to Detroit..."You can put lipstick on a pig....but it's still a pig". I used to defend Detroit, now I defend people who trash it...b/c to a large extent they're right. Bottom line for Downtown Detroit. It gets the Government and Business money. It's the White people who come in from the suburbs and support the whole system...then go back to the suburbs. Detroit is simply a lost Black city. It's not a "melting pot" city it was known for.

Detroit still has a very long way to go. I'm from the Netherlands and I was really surprised to read that downtown Detroit has far less people living there then the downtown of my hometown of Groningen, which has just 230,000 inhabitants overall. But its downtown has about the same amount of annual visitors(!). But looking at Google Earth I can understand why. Downtown Detroit looks very uninviting with wide streets and immens empty parking lots. Downtown Detroit should loose those and replace them with mid rise buildings with shops.

If you look up Detroit on ParkingReform it says that 30% of downtown Detroit is parking lots and that only counts surface lots. It's a city designed for cars and as long as the auto industry has a hold on it I don't imagine it will change to pro-pedestrian and public transit.

@@fortheloveofmusic860 I do understand where you are coming from, but much of downtown is now parking lots because what was there before became blight and was torn down. It was more filled in at one point. The issue for Detroit city itself is that it is 138 miles squared, and even when things were good, living downtown was not the custom particularly. People in the metro Detroit area in general want all those parking spaces filled up with new buildings too!! There just has to be the demand for the space to rent. You might think it interesting to search the "Monroe Blocks." This is the group of buildings that will break ground in September next year in some of those parking lots, lol.

Still too many surface parking lots downtown and nearby. And Im not just referring to the stuff owned by Illitch, the city needs to eliminate or drastically reduce their parking minimums. Let me give you one example why. According to Sue Mosey in a Crains article, Joe Louis Southern Kitchen had to get a parking minimum exemption because somehow being near the QLine and multiple buse routes on Woodward and West Grand Blvd, plus many other surface lots nearby would not pass the current as written city ordinance if it had been applied and enforced.

@@ReeseChown The ugly truth many don’t want to hear is that by making cities centered around the automobile, we in turn made them less walkable, spread communities apart, encouraged urban sprawl, lengthened commutes and raised the cost of living. Detroit, as well as most cities, could likely dramatically benefit from strong public transportation networks and a more walking/bike friendly downtown core. Love this town but hate seeing it’s potential squandered.

True, but compare Detroit's surface parking with Houston or Albuquerque. Or take a look at the satellite overhead of Ford Field, and its surface parking, and then compare with SoFi stadium, and its surface parking. Hint: when you add in the Big Box stores and its lot to the southeast of SoFi, it's the exact same size as the downtown Detroit area. Parking minimums have to be eliminated entirely. We're better off expanding the Q-Line and moving parking structures (not lots) farther out. The land downtown is too valuable to waste on parking.

@reesechown simply giving the existing FAST bus a dedicated transit only lane would help the "slow" buses tremendously. Streetcars got stuck in traffic as cars became more and more popular. So some said buses would be able to zig zag around the cars better. But it turns out, having lots of cars in any lane slows everything down no matter what. Search for a video called "to solve congestion, buses must be given priority" or something like that. The thing is, Detroit is supposed to be getting exactly that next year. But only the Corktown area of the FAST Michigan route. Really don't understand why it cant be budgeted yet on the other FAST routes too, since much of the cost of the Michigan Ave project will be dealing with the old bricks in front of Tiger Stadium.

All the times I've been to Detroit it didn't smell bad like these comments are trying to say. Why complain about the homeless as if that is what makes a city bad? Every city has homelessness. Why let that affect your attitude so much? The city has great restaurants, the buses will essentially take you anywhere you want to go. They have all those major projects that will bring more people to the city as well. They will be inserting a park near the riverfront. They are building something from the top down and that has never been tried before. Breakthroughs are happening in Detroit. The city is on its way up. Yes, the parking is horrendous like any city with a lot of people. Just find a spot and pay for it. You will probably be walking a lot. It's worth it though. Each time I went down to Detroit (I live 30-45 min away) I have never had a bad experience. I had a lot of fun in that city. I wish people would stop judging it so badly.

The streetscape programs seem to finally be something that is actually working. (At attracting more investment) Plus there's the Joe Louis Greenway. The main thing I would like to see in the neighborhoods is more mixed use zoning. No reason that empty lots that once had houses should only be allowed to build new houses in their place. Parker Durand & The Coe (both on Van Dyke in/near West Village) are two examples of what should be built in more grassy lots all over the place.

Please, no offence to anybody, and I mean that, but I thought Detroit was dead, or at least dying. The last I heard, after declaring bankruptcy, the city fell apart, and it broke my heart to see, because many years ago, when I was a young man (I’m 54) I was in Detroit in its heyday, a bustling, successful, powerful metropolis. But then the crime began, and when the auto makers abandoned the city, it became a ghost town where entire swaths of suburbia turned into an urban wasteland, with thousands of condemned homes and buildings, rotting away, with crime, gun violence, gang violence, and destruction of everything all around, it seemed like the city was going to be completely destroyed. I’m not that far away, I’m in Toronto, but like everyone else, I have a very busy life, and I keep meaning to go to Detroit to see what’s going on there now. Seeing this video makes me really happy, but I’d like to see it for myself, and hear it from you guys, from the people that live there. What’s happened to bring it back to life? Last I checked entire neighbourhoods were being bulldoze over because the homes were all abandoned and falling apart, along with many of the old factories. Have you guys managed to turn things around? I am a huge skyscraper fanatic, especially historical ones, and your city is blessed with many of them, please tell me they are actually going to save them, restore them to their original grandeur, and restore life back to the city that was once so beautiful. Also, can anyone give me a few suggestions of the best places to visit in the city because I do plan on going there if not this summer then next summer? Either way, I’m just so glad to see things are starting to turn around. This is the perfect example of why you never build an entire city based upon one main industry only. I know a lot of people fled the city, leaving behind only those who couldn’t afford to leave, and the race riots didn’t help matters either, has there been any improvement on that front? That was the beginning of the end, it is so wonderful to see a new beginning from that ending. Are any of the skyscrapers open to the public? I would love to see inside. My favourite city in the world is Manhattan. I have travelled the globe, but Manhattan has my heart, however, Detroit has so much potential, and it’s a heck of a lot closer, only a 5 Hour drive from my house in downtown Toronto. I wish every single citizen in Detroit nothing but the very best of luck in the future, and in the present. So, if any of you guys can tell me some of the best places to visit, I’d greatly appreciate it, I just have to see this for myself, to see it coming back to life after going through so much heartache and strife, thanks!

He's blunt but he has a point-- the city does stink some times, especially over by the department of water and sewage which is hilariously ironic. I have nearly pissed my pants downtown three times due to lack of amenities, especially when everything is locked after 9PM. The Q-Line is a slow ass joke that only crazy bums ride now, they yell and harass everyone and some times don't even get on board! LOL We need proper rail transportation, but automotive company lobbyists don't want us to have it. I LOVE this city but transportation is key. And toilets so you don't SH!T yourself

@@ReeseChown You complaining about what a literal sewage plant smells like explains it all for me. You have to look mean if you don't want to be approached by the hobos. It's just about street smarts. Don't tear down a city on the rise up and complain. Thanks.

If you actually knew anything about history, the architect of Central Park in NYC also designed many of the parks in Detroit. Nice try though.

@@GEN_X_ you cant compare these parks, sure its the same architect but this is 22 acres and central park is around 850 almost 38 times bigger with alot more to offer it goes through millions of peoples background this will bring a park for the people left in Detroit, don't get me wrong it looks nice just like central park.

You can 100% compare Detroit parks. Belle Isle Park in Detroit is 982 Acres Same Architect designer Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1880s to design it. He is known for his design of Central Park in New York City.. Same Style. Size means nothing. Detroit was once the wealthiest city on the planet. Was wealthier than NYC and the architecture and parks are on the same scale. @@Chris-po9lk

No it doesn’t it’s a great place to live downtown, where do you live? If you don’t live in our area I guarantee you probably have a fraction of the amenities we have.

It’s gonna take 50+ years for Detroit to fully recover. I’m not from Detroit at all, but it’s good to see development happening.
