  • Detroit City Is the Place to Be: The Afterlife of an American Metropolis is a 2012 book by , published by Picador (UK) and by Metropolitan Books (US). The book was later published in the United Kingdom by Bodley Head under the title The Last Days of Detroit: Motor Cars, Motown and the Collapse of an Industrial Giant. Binelli, a contributing editor of Rolling Stone and a novelist, originates from a suburb of Detroit. Nicholas Hune-Brown of Canadian Business described the book as "a sympathetic portrait of a city managing its own decline and groping its way toward a new 21st-century identity". Using a series of essays, the book discusses the history of the city and the movements to restore the city from its decline. The history is in the beginning and the later part discusses the revival attempts. Binelli expresses skepticism of several proposals on reviving the city, but he believes there are some indicators that a recovery will come. Kirkus Reviews wrote that "many readers" would be favorable to the format of the article appearing like "a series of magazine articles" since the readers may "absorb the book in bite-sized chunks that can make reading about Detroit's urban blight more palatable" even though some persons may criticize the book for having this style.
