The giant shrinking of the city in population while keeping the same land size played it's part as well.

 

at bolded: i think that was more a result of detroits failure, than a cause.


Nah, most cities have had huge decreases in population since the 1950's due to various issues and federal governent policies.

Detroit didn't help itself in a lot of areas, but really... even the UAW jobs fled before Detroit had anything to say about it, because all those jobs ended up moving out of detroit and into the suburbs outside of detroit.  (Well before they moved to mexico and overseas).

Even when the Auto Industry was booming, Detroit was going bankrupt and dieing.
