Detroit

The landscape around Detroit is defined by the broad Detroit River and the flat Great Lakes plain, which have shaped both the city’s industrial layout and its long-standing role in trade. Founded in 1701, Detroit grew into the centre of the US automobile industry, a legacy reflected in its factory districts and in the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in nearby Dearborn. Downtown combines early-20th-century architecture, including the Art Deco Guardian Building, with the riverfront and the Renaissance Center. Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts are among the city’s major public artworks.
