Detroit Faced With 'Urban Doughnut'
As its suburbs boom and inner-city decays, the Motor City stands to lose millions in population-based federal money. Local leaders hope to break the vicious cycle, pointing to new development.
Despite a recent growth in new housing units, Detroit lost more people in the last year than any other large city - nearly 11,000 people. Meanwhile, southeastern Michigan's population as a whole remained stable, highlighting the extreme disparity in wealth and opportunity between the urban core and the suburban market.
