The Evolution of Cities in the US




Time is relentless, and has presided over a plethora of social and political changes in the US, many of which have been to the benefit of individual citizens and everyday existence. However, while it has seen great advancements in medical and technological progress, it has also witnessed the continued degeneration of once great places and cities, as they have become the victim of social and economic circumstances. Detroit is one such city in the US, and it was reported this week that they have become the only city to suffer a cumulative population loss over the last decade.

The Decline of a City

The figures are starting, especially when you consider the consistent population growth that the US has encountered since the turn of 1990. In the decade between 2000 and 2010, the US Census reported that the population of Detroit decreased from 951,270 to713,777, which is its lowest recorded figure since 1910. This is a stark state of existence for the city, which had a peak population of 1.5 million individuals in 1950 and was once the 4th largest city within the boundaries of the USA. This decline is sudden and vast, and with several different financial and social triggers.

At the turn of the century, Detroit was the heartbeat of the US automotive trade, and this prosperity and purpose caused its population to swell accordingly. Sadly, the recent economic hardship and painstaking recovery put paid to this, and seemingly tore the meaning from a city as well the livelihood of many of its occupants. This has had further consequences on the economic performance of Detroit, and the proposed closure of several city schools may well have been the final straw for many of its dedicated individuals.

So the city has seen a slow but steady exodus from its boundaries, as those who can seek more prosperous and generative pastures. This is unfortunately a necessary evil, especially in an economic climate where jobs and wealth are increasingly difficult to come by, and individuals and families have been coerced into finding work in more affluent states. However, while this course of action is understandable from the view of the individual, there is a danger that it may place even more of a burden upon more desirable and prosperous cities that already have consistently high population levels.

An Uneven Share of the Population

If you imagine that the population of the US as a whole has risen by approximately 200,000 individuals a year for over 2 decades, then it is easy to see the strain that is already being placed upon existing financial and physical resources. While this is challenging enough to the country and its government, it becomes intensified when cities that are hit hardest by the restrictions of economic hardship lose their occupants to more prosperous areas, and ultimately could create a distinct imbalance which threatens the future of even the most wealth orientated cities.

While a cumulative population loss is still especially rare in contemporary times, the circumstances currently afflicting Detroit may well soon influence other struggling areas of the US. If this is to be a portent rather than an isolated incident, then cities in rural, poverty hit states such as Alabama and Mississippi could suffer the same fate and see a steadily declining local population. Despite this, the overall population of the US would continue to rise significantly, which would of course leave attractive cities and districts over populated and ill equipped to serve their local number.

The instance in Detroit is currently and may well continue to be an isolated incident in the US, but a clear trend is developing if you consider the cities recent history. Just as they were devastated by the loss of trade and suitable employment for its residents, so too the southern belt line of US states are experiencing issues with base food prices and agricultural prosperity, leaving many families without the requisite income and sinking swiftly beneath the poverty threshold. They are then presented with very little option in terms of having to move away, as each individual has a sole responsibility to themselves and loved ones.

A Choice for the Individual Rather than Society

This is of course an issue in democratic rule, as though individuals have the freedom of choice and movement, this is designed to benefit themselves and not the greater good of the society in which they live. This liberty is certainly a significant contributor towards rising population, and may become even more pertinent if over population becomes localized and isolated in specific areas and districts of the US. While this is largely unavoidable under current rule, other triggers such as reduced government spending will need to be given great consideration in the coming years.

With such a vast national budget deficit, spending cuts are inevitable, but their nature and volume will be key to determining the recovery of struggling cities such as Detroit and those in the heartland of the south. If cuts are too extreme, then unemployment will become higher and businesses will continue to falter, with the result that less money is reinvested by citizens and organizations into the US economy. This would arguably be the final death knell for cities like Detroit, and create even further problems in terms of soaring population.

  1. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. many thanks

  2. Hey! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

  3. With your also a news flash, corsi recupero might be more essential in the past liceo pontormo empoli . The most important factor is basically that you often getting a high price for that corsi formazione professionali.

  4. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  5. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  6. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  7. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  9. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  10. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  11. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  40. What a very nice and insightful post! It’s a fact that muscle growth is highly dependent on what one is eating, what one is lifting, one’s genetics, and what one’s goal is (and you’ve got to have a well-defined goal or else you’d be chasing after your goal forever). In addition to that, one needs to have discipline and dedication to take it to the very end (attainment of the goal that one has set). It shouldn’t be a spur of the moment kind of thing. You need to follow through, just like in anything that you want to succeed in in life. And lastly, it’s all about making everything work together—working out without the proper diet won’t cut it, taking jar after jar of supplements won’t get you bulked up if you don’t pump iron. You need to make everything work together—the right workout program, a proper diet, supplements, and a healthy lifestyle.

  41. I’d have rather more faith in this apparently spontaneous uprising by the Libyan rebels if one of their first moves hadn’t been to start a new central bank. “Kill Gaddafi, make this country safe for central bankers!” Yup, them’s genuine rebels alright!
