Detroit Then And Now: An Artist Combined Historic Pictures Of Detroit With Modern Photographs
According to photographer Flora Borsi:”The City of Detroit has gone through a major economic and demographic decline in recent decades. The population of the city has fallen from a high of 1,850,000 in 1950 to 701,000 in 2013. The automobile industry in Detroit has suffered from global competition and has moved much of the remaining production out of Detroit.

I imagined how the city, its streets and buildings might have looked in past decades.

Could Detroit rise again? I hope so.” Continue reading »
