Lots of good books to add to my list! Would like to add:
Redevelopment and Race: Planning a finer city in postwar detroit by Jane Manning Thomas, about the city-planning side of Detroit's history and how that history was effected by the unique MI constitution's constraints on city annexation, among other things
The deindustrialization of america, by Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison. Very concise numbers-driven overview of the process of industrial offshoring
The city in mind, by James Howard Kunstler. Covers several cities including some rust belt ones from an urbanist perspective
