Close Air is a ride through the city of Detroit. In fact, there is not much left of the once richest city in the USA, as abandoned factories, burned-out houses, occasionally groups of skyscrapers from the Wilhelminian era, which look like islands in the middle of huge, prairie-like gras lands.

Belle Isle Park, known simply as Belle Isle, is a 397 ha island park in Detroit, developed in the late 19th century. Belle Isle emerged as a treasure trove of architecture and design, featuring the work of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and of architects Albert Kahn, George Mason, and Cass Gilbert. Amenities such as the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, the Belle Isle Aquarium, the Belle Isle Zoo, and a host of others made it one of the premier municipal parks in America. 

From the 1890s, the island was home to a large herd of European fallow deer. But this isolated population fell prey to disease at the close of the 20th century as a result of cyclic inbreeding. In 2004, the last of the 300 animals were captured and moved to the Detroit Zoo. In 1992, a temporary street race circuit was constructed on the isle for CART races.  Plans are underway to renew the tradition of Summer concert band performances at the Remick Band Shell. Today, Belle Isle is emerging from a recent past marked by decay and neglect.

The Fisher building opened in September 1928. The Fisher Brothers  commissioned architect Albert Kahn in 1927 and essentially told him to go wild and told him to build them “the most beautiful building in the world" and that quality would not be sacrificed in order to save money. The Fisher was imagined as a building to honor the people of Detroit—an ode to the American work ethic and to American artisans. More than $30 million ($373 million today) was to be spent to erect a sprawling three-tower complex that would “serve as an expressive testimonial of the Fishers’ activity in Detroit.

The Fisher and Kahn buildings’ fortunes had changed. Detroits real estate market gone soft as the city’s population dwindled and companies moved their headquarters into the suburbs. In 2015, an ownership group led by The Platform bought the pair, along with a parking garage and a large parking lot, for $12.5 million at auction. The Platform set out to reverse the decades of decline and lure new tenants into the building.

The former grand boulevard struggles to survive. Magnificent houses line the boulevard, but most of them are empty and almost collapsed. They still spread an aura of former wealth and demonstrate the impressive work of architects on that time.

The Ford factory, founded by Henry Ford in 1903, introduced assembly line production in 1913, that brought about a radical change in the automotive industry. The assembly time was reduced from over 12 hours to 1.5 hours per car. From then on, the automotive industry determined the political and economic fate of the city. The city officially filed for bankruptcy in 2013.
