It was built for two million people, not the 900,000 that live there today. Manhattan, San Francisco, and Boston could all fit within Detroit’s 139-square-mile boundary, and there would still be 20 square miles to spare.

That brings up an interesting question, could Detroit be broken down into smaller cities? That way one city government isnt trying to take care of all of that land. It might be an interesting way to take on the problems of Detroit, create a "metro government" that helps to do projects that effect the area as a whole, then have "local government" to take care of all the individual cities that could be created from Detroit.
Just an idea, especially when it is put in perspective of size compared to much larger cities.
