Urban Ecology: Detroit and Beyond Park, Kyong

The city of Detroit constitutes one of the great monuments to urban decay, an unmistakable sacrifice to the globalization of labor and capital and the nomadic behavior of economies, technologies, and industries. Yet this city forms a powerful ground upon which to critique the problems of the hyper economy of the suburban matrix, and to sow the seeds for new urban thoughts on a post-capitalist future. Urban Ecology: Detroit and Beyond, a compilation of projects and essays on Detroit and many other moving cities around the world, projects Detroit, and its issues, into existing or developing global contexts.
