Detroit has long been inseparable from the auto industry, and the city is home to the
“Big Three” U.S. car companies: General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. Museums such as
Cranbrook House and Gardens and the Henry Ford & Greenfield Village draw
visitors to Detroit, which has rebounded from the economic struggle of the 1970s and
1980s. New buildings and a redeveloped city center have helped the city regain a sense
of pride that is immediately obvious to tourists, business visitors and residents
alike.
