As I said in the other thread, it would not require a huge capital investment from the US to rebuild parts of Detroit along the lines of the Stapleton airport redevelopment in Denver, with rowhouses, small apartments and single family homes. The end result could even look something like the 1940s pics. We just lack the will and creativity as a society to pursue it; our globalization-besotted leadership (hello Obama) barely registers the issue.
Those pics btw from 1942 show a real "MIXED USE" neighborhood: manufacturing, residential and commercial. We need balance.
