Detroit, Michigan - A City on the Rise

After years of decline, Detroit is now on the rise. Unlike many of the formerly Manufacturing cities of have declined and remain depressed, Detroit is rising up. We show this now beautiful city on the shores of the Detroit River in this Aerial & Ground tour of the Midwest's 2nd Largest City, only behind Chicago.
Stock footage from this video is available for purchase, contact Tampa Aerial Media.
Detroit is older than our country, founded in 1701. The city grew largely to its automobile industry, but also fell with the automobile industry. Today, however the once bankrupt city is now rising with an explosive real estate market in the downtown corridor.
We feature the People Mover in this video which was opened in 1987. It is a monorail style 2.9 mile loop around downtown with 13 stops at a fare of 75 cents. We show Ford Field home of the Lions, and Comerica Park home of the Tigers. We had meant to also show Joe Louis Arena home of the Red Wings. It is right next to the Cobo Center, and we simply saw that and was thinking we had shot the arena but didn't.
The Renaissance Center is the most impressive and modern looking of the downtown Skyscrapers. It is the world head quarters of General Motors. It is so large it has its own Zip Code. 10,000 empolyees work in this building.

I can tell you this video is not Propaganda. Certainly, yes we do look for the positives and we are going to focus on that. Admittedly I am an outsider, but I am also one who have profiled other northern cities. Cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, who have worse problems than Detroit and do not have the metro area revitalization that Detroit is having. Yes there are still struggles, but that is what makes Detroit so special. When you have had to overcome alot, you become stronger. God Bless the good people of Detroit, and keep up the good fight, believe it or not you are doing better than many other Northern Cities.

I live in Buffalo and like Detroit, it is coming back. We have had millions of dollars of major investment and new development. Old neighborhoods that were once rundown and seedy have been cleaned up and revitalized. Buffalo’s population increased by almost 7% between 2010 and 2020. There are a lot of successful start up technology companies in the city. So it is not all decline and doom anymore. Like Detroit, Buffalo has turned the corner and is coming back.

I have lived in Detroit downtown since 1991. I always enjoyed the city, despite its reputation and dangerous aspects, and I can certify that in the last five years the city downtown and Midtown has absolutely exploded into a wonderful place to live in. Many of the neighborhoods surrounding still need a lot of attention, and frankly, I don’t know if they will ever get it. However, the city core is absolutely fabulous. It’s such a cool city, so much to do, great architecture and people, wonderful restaurants and parks. Canada is five minutes away and a great place to visit during the day, Belle Isle since the state is taking over is absolutely beautiful, it’s the largest island city park in the United States and looks wonderful. Great museums, fabulous sports venues, tons of restaurants, there’s so much to do it’s really a great place to live in. I always find it amusing with the haters on here who absolutely refuse to acknowledge what’s going on, they generally live miles and miles away, or have never returned in recent years, yet continue to to trash it all the time. Live here, like I have for the last 25 years plus and I can certify that this town is turning around beautifully.

Despite its persistent serious problems, Detroit is still one of the best cities in the US. It is a historic architectural treasure chest that contains the world’s third largest collection of historic older skyscrapers built before 1930. It has beautiful radial thoroughfares and a very impressive waterfront. It has a world class art museum and beautiful parks. The people are very friendly and down to earth. It has all the professional sports and it is a major music and entertainment hub. I always wanted to come and visit Detroit and spend some time exploring this interesting historic city. Many of my family, relatives, and friends felt that I needed psychiatric help for listing Detroit as one of my favorite cities however I ignored their negative ignorant opinions since most of them are either scared of Detroit or just hate the city for no apparent reason. I hope that Detroit continues on its path of revitalization and economic diversification.

Jefferson and Wanmaker, from the 20's through 69'. They closed it down after the 67' riots when the area became to dangerous. My mother graduated from Cass Tech in 1940. My father was a engineer at Packard back in the late 40's. My parents moved to Bloomfield Hills in 1963..and to be honest haven't looked back. I drove down Woodward, through Highland Park, the other day, and truth be told..I was pretty nervous. And yes, I have lived in Chicago for ten years and lower Manhattan for a couple.

[@DroneUpp]

I've always knew Detroit would eventually make a comeback! My last visit was around 2005. My first was in 1977 when it was booming. I am certain that it still has a long way to go, especially in the residential areas. There are miles of abandoned and dilapidated communities and structures but thanks to the entrepreneurs and investors, there is hope! Hats off to those who stayed behind and endured through it all.

[@stephenbrand5661]

It was bigger than it is now in 1977 but to call it booming isn't true when it was actually losing people like crazy at the time. I like watching stuff from those Coleman Young years because there was always this hope that the decline had stopped and Detroit was gonna make a come back. By the early 90's the city pulled out all the stops to get a million people counted in the census redo but besides that nobody was kidding themselves anymore about the city coming back.

Thank you so much for showing some of the nicer areas of Detroit. All these videos, all they want to show, is the desolate, burned-out, screwed up parts. But Detroit is just like any other big city. It's got bad parts, and it's got beautiful parts. And it seems that all anyone ever wants to focus on is the bad parts. For once we have a video that shows the nice side of Detroit. Detroit is a beautiful city. You just need to know where to look. And this video shows a few of those more attractive parts. I mean, you have no idea. If all you look at are those nasty videos that show all those desolate scenes with burned-out houses... Try and Google "Indian village"... look at the video on Indian village and tell me about Detroit? Look at Palmer Park or Sherwood Forest. There is a lot of beauty to be found in Detroit. The images in this video... The Renaissance Center have you ever visited there? Try it and then see its image of wealth and Perfection. It is spotless! Yes it's a confusing maze, it's a city unto itself, it has its own ZIP code like they said, but it is amazing! Don't kill Detroit until you've seen what it really has to offer. This is a world-class City with every Museum, Hotel, Zoo, every attraction that any large city would have... we've got it, and then we've got some extra shit too! We have got it all here! Fast fact... Belle Isle, the largest island park in the nation... Yeah .... bigger than Central Park in New York people... let's hear it, bigger than Central Park! And it is beautiful. It is beautiful too. It is one Island out in the middle of the water that is just completely gorgeous. And there's everything.... Forest and streams, and it's really something to see and all we have to do is drive over a bridge to get to it. It is otherwise completely available to us as Detroiters! So, yes, there are neighborhoods that are burned-out, screwed up ... but if you can't see past that, if you can't see the city for what it really has to offer... everything that is.... we are on those lighted neighborhoods then you're just ....being blind, because there is a gorgeous shining City beyond that which is on the surface. There is a really pretty, beautiful, workable, livable city, beyond those stupid nasty videos that they show you. We live here, and we love it, and it is amazing, and there's so much more Than what those bad videos show you. There's so much more... the only way you could know would be to come here and see for yourself.

Very well said, thankyou.

[@seansmith8920]

Very well said....id like to expand on your thoughts but can't say it any better than you have

[@Lakeshore14]

You are 100% correct on your assessment of the city. The best is yet to come. 🇨🇦

[@Det1911]

that video was shot with love!

[@MsShirleyD]

This looks real pretty. Thank you for your video. I have never been to Detroit. Never had a desire to go there. Makes it look really pretty.

[@safeatthird6060]

I hope it comes back strong like it was back in the day.

[@billbirkett7166]

I was born and raised in Michigan, but just moved to the city about a half year ago. And I have to say...it is really a culture that is heartwarming and wonderful. What's great about the city is that all the assholes stay in the suburbs. There is no reason to fear the city as long as you stay out of the worst parts. But even so...I do not feel unsafe at all in any part of the city. When I drive down West Buchanan street, for instance, I see nothing but potential for growth. I live in West Village and I adore my neighborhood. I love all the little things...going down to the corner market, riding my bike downtown, enjoying the gritty nooks and crannies. If you have no appreciation for beauty or uniqueness, you will hate the city. But if that's the case, PLEASE stay in the suburbs so that Detroit city continues to have a nice culture full of wonderful people of all backgrounds.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yes I agree, I felt completely safe in the city while shooting the video, it seemed as safe as any city we have shot in.

[@r.pres.4121]

I haven’t been to Detroit in years and have heard so many good things about the city despite its serious problems. I want to visit Detroit someday and check it out. I am a road cyclist and I heard that Detroit is quite bike friendly.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Great shots of a great city on the rebound!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

thankyou for the nice words.

[@theyeetpotato123]

Detroit has really start to look better and improve over the last 10 years, before it was all run down

[@Detroit911]

You guys are defiantly professionals. You did an Amazing job with the Detroit video looking forward to watching your other videos..

[@ultravioletgaia]

[@nsr5961]

ultravioletgaia my question is...where did all the criminals moved to next ? I didn’t see shootings or twerking on the streets of this video ...🤔

[@prabdeepdhaliwal8285]

[@prabdeepdhaliwal8285]

[@mustseeplaces3475]

Great video!!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

thankyou for the nice words.

[@thedragonreport5054]

Just because there is more investment into Detroit, doesn't mean it gives the green light for people to move there. Detroit still has a lot of criminals to clean up and a lot of people who might turn into criminals at a later date, but there is potential once that gets fixed.

[@taaadaaa5256]

The D on the rise just needs a little TLC

[@thebionicpig]

Love Detroit I’m from Windsor across the Ambassador bridge

[@birney163]

To spend a day in Windsor do u need to show a passport or just ID ? Driving over from Detroit

[@batnayanineveh6082]

Enhanced Drivers license or Passport

[@shaungordon9737]

Is this the most quintessential American city? As a non-American, this just screams America to me

[@samdefore2692]

It is all the early American 19th century architecture mixed in with mid century skyrises, that makes it look so Americana sliced in with the modern building. That is what makes cities like Detroit along with Midwestern cities that had declined, so nice to revitalize, the all have great bones that can't replicated.

[@bonniemaynard5092]

I've been back in Detroit after 21 years of being away and it is culture shock to me there are so many people and it is always so busy

[@TXejas19]

Nothing like synth intro to validate up and coming growth. I still like this video

[@sunnycriti9809]

God Bless Detroit. Love you

[@srpatterson10]
