Cataclaw Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Depuis hier je fais de la lecture à propos de la ville de Detroit.. c'est vraiment incroyable comment cette ville a déterioré. Premièrement, voici une ville en bonne santé: Montréal, QC Population (approx; de la ville, et non de l'agglomération) 1950 : 995,000 2006 : 1,620,000 Augmentation de 63% Quelques photos -------------------- Et maintenant... -------------------- Detroit, MI Population (aprox; de la ville, et non de l'agglomération) 1950 : 1,849,568 2007 : 916,000 Réduction de 50%!! La moitié de la population a disparu! Les prédictions pour 2030 donnent à Detroit une population de 750,000-800,000! Quelques photos --- C'est vraiment incroyable comme déteroriation.. que peux faire les É-U pour sauver cette ville parmis les plus historiques du pays?

Cataclaw Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Les photos viennent de "Bird's eye view" de Live Local Maps. En effet ça ressemble à du Sim City. Malheureusement, les photos sont entièrement vrais.. ce n'est pas un jeu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosey12387 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow that's depressing. Since, from my understanding, the auto-industry makes up a greater percentage of the workforce in Canada than it does in the US, maybe Michigan will consider donating Detroit to Windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLskyline Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yeah, Detroit has less people today then it did 50 years ago. A few factors at work here: 1. Declining auto industry in the last 25 years (I'm not usually a Michael Moore fan, but watch the film Roger & Me, it's a very revealing look at what happened to towns like Flint (similar things at work in Detroit). If people stop buying American cars, then money that would have paid salaries in Michigan is going elsewhere. 2. White flight (Some white people are afraid of having black neighbours so they leave the center of the city). I'm not sure if the housing crisis is at work here, but a lot of people in Detroit got their homes repossessed. Detroit is now one of the most violent cities in the US. It looks like a third world city. It's a real shame because there is some nice architecture there that's laying in ruin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjb Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Je tiens à préciser quelque chose: Population de l'île de Montréal en 1950: 2 200 000 Population de l'île de Montréal en 2002: 1 800 000 De plus, je vais à detroit début janvier !!

Habsfan Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Cataclaw, Cjb a raison, la population de l'île de Montréal en 1950 était plus élevé qu'aujourd'hui! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
