Apesar das fotos serem entre 2003 e 2009, o assunto é bem atual; Detroit está falida!
De uma população de 1,8 milhões de habitantes, agora possui apenas 700 mil que amargam de uma cidade abandonada. Já foi um polo industrial automobilístico gigantesco, mas agora possui uma dívida estimada em US$ 18,5 bilhões.
Não sou acionista e não entendo nada de economia, mas pelo que se vê pelas notícias atuais, a cidade só tende a decair mais.
Enfim, segue as fotos, de autoria dos fotógrafos franceses Yves Marchand e Romain Meffre;
The ruined Spanish-Gothic interior of the United Artists Theater in Detroit. The cinema was built in 1928 by C Howard Crane, and finally closed in 1974
East Methodist Church
Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church, built in the Gothic revival style in 1911
East Side Public Library
Light Court, Farwell Building
Michigan Central Station
Dentist Cabinet, Broderick Tower
Offices, Highland Park Police Station
The biology classroom at George W Ferris School in the Detroit suburb of Highland Park
St Christopher House, ex-Public Library
The ballroom of the 15-floor art-deco Lee Plaza Hotel, an apartment building with hotel services built in 1929 and derelict since the early 1990s
Michigan Theatre
View of Woodward Avenue from the Broderick Tower
Detroit’s Vanity Ballroom with its unsalvaged art deco chandeliers. Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey once played here.
William Livingstone House, Brush Park, a French Renaissance-style house designed by Albert Kahn in 1893 and demolished since this photograph was taken
Waiting hall, Michigan Central Station
