I was reading an article a few months back about the city and it had some interesting facts about how big the city is. Obviously, we know Detroit is a big city and in the article it mentioned that within the city limits of Detroit, you could fit Boston, Manhattan, and San Francisco. I think that is pretty crazy and I was wondering, why is the city of Detroit so large? It almost seems like it is too big of an area for one city to take care of maintenance-wise etc. So, is Detroit too big of a city to maintain, and should it have been designed to be a smaller city?
