Detroit. Forgotten city.

06 September 2017

Posted by Marta Bescos

Detroit is known for one of the most stunning collections of dramatic post-depression architecture in the world. Sadly the past two decades have seen several of these treasures left to crumble, waiting for economic revival. In 1950, the booming industrial city was home to nearly two million Americans, but nowadays, Detroit’s population has shrunk to around 673,000. Once the heart of America's automotive industry, the so-called 'Motor City' now represents the largest municipal bankruptcy in the history of the United States.

Detroit's abandoned landmarks have a haunting beauty that immortalises its fascinating past. We've collected 12 of our photographers' best images of the city that ran out of gas.
