Metro

To say that Detroit, one of the biggest American cities had been left pretty much neglected is a gross understatement. Burnt down, abandoned houses laying in between derelict family homes. Eerily quiet suburban streets with rotting motor factories, and empty - boarded up grocery stores no longer proving any products or services. That combined with a dwindling population and high rates of unemployment and crime has left this once buzzing city in a bit of a depressive state. Ian Brown's photos above show the urban decay that does still exist in some parts, but in more recent years there has been a exciting sense of a rebirth now people have started to invest more time and money into this city. Entrepreneurs have started flying in creating new businesses and starting urban development programmes. This is an exciting reaction to the opportunities that there clearly is for investment, regeneration, development and innovation. Perhaps Detroit could one day be the thriving city it once was. . . . . . . . . #everydaylife #america #Detroit #life #urbandecay #photography #socialcommentary #research #exploretocreate #roamtheplanet #planetdiscovery #visualoflife #aroundtheworldpix #visualmob #discoveryearth #blogger #blog #exploringtheglobe #instapassport #girlswritenow #writer #lifestyle #writersofinstagram #creative #bloggersofinstagram #designer #clinicallyabeast #sunday #loves
