Detroit goes bankrupt
Summary
19 July 2013
Detroit has become the largest US city ever to file for bankruptcy1, with debts of at least $15bn. Once the heart of the US car industry, Detroit's population has fallen from two million in the 1950s to 713,000 today.

Report
The birthplace of mass production, 'Motor City', has thrown in the towel.
Decades of decline led up to this moment. Spiralling crime and the departure of the car factories that gave Detroit its nickname saw the destruction of its tax base. Years of incompetent2 and corrupt3 management left the city insolvent4.
The emergency manager appointed by the state governor spent months going through the city's books. His conclusion: the city's debts are too great to be sustained.
Now the courts will have to work out who gets paid what, and the city's fall is complete.
