摘要

This dissertation examines the development of urban civic institutions and the built environment under the influence of both rapid population growth and industrial expansion of the auto industry. The analysis concentrates on the interaction of business leaders, private housing developers, politicians and planning experts, and the city's residents in creating institutions [such as banks and lending institutions, schools, neighborhood block groups, city plan commission, etc.] that would govern how the city's structures and built environment would develop and operate. Behind the facade of a strong system of political and civic decision makers carefully crafting the city, the way Henry Ford built his Model T's, private housing developers would use residential mobility to have a more central role in building the urban environment than in almost any other twentieth century city. This resulted in a severe limitation of public influence, and I argue that this restriction of input, along with the pressures placed on civic and community institutions to provide for the massive growth led to an inability to fully cope with the economic and social dislocations of the Great Depression. Most significantly, though the onset of the Depression halted some of the troubles associated with growth, it also exacerbated already existing problems in housing, education, planning and rezoning, and race relations. The force of the co-joined phenomena---the growth of the auto industry, its draw of over one million people to the city, and the full permeation of the automobile in American society---simultaneously consolidated and fragmented control and authority in Detroit, and left the public hostage to institutional indecision.
