One Detroit-Manhattan similarity that is an interesting coincidence is the very similar distance of Midtown Manhattan and Detroit's New Center from their respective downtowns. Both are roughly 3 miles from the downtowns. In both cases, I think the reason for the secondary downtowns being established where they were was because of railroad terminals being built at the urban edge.
