With an eye for the darkly absurd and the radically new, Detroit-area native Mark Binelli has chronicled this convergence in DETROIT CITY IS THE PLACE TO BE: The Afterlife of an American Metropolis (Metropolitan Books on sale: November 13, 2012). Urban planners, land speculators, neo-pastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists-have been drawn to Detroit's baroquely decaying, nothing-left-to-lose frontier. But the city's worst crisis yet (and that's saying something) has managed to do the unthinkable: turn the end of days into something of a laboratory for the future. Once America's capitalist dream town, Detroit is our country's greatest urban failure, having fallen the longest and the farthest. Featuring the author in conversation with The Observer's Michael Miller. RSVP appreciated: native and Rolling Stone contributor Mark Binelli celebrates the launch of Detroit City is the Place to Be, a journey through America's greatest urban failure that proves that Detroit might be our most promising laboratory for the future. 37 Main Street (corner of Water & Main St.) įor more information, please call 718.666.3049.
